In this study, we compared tenofovir DF with placebo when either was added to existing antiretroviral therapy in patients with stable HIV-1 RNA levels between 400 and 10 000 copies/mL. This design allowed us to rigorously assess the efficacy and safety profiles of tenofovir DF in treatment-experienced patients who had low but stable levels of viral replication despite ongoing treatment. Patients with HIV-1 RNA levels greater than 10 000 copies/mL were excluded from the study. The 6-month use of a placebo control is not consistent with current clinical practice in patients with an unstable, failing antiretroviral regimen and would put them at undue risk for rapid development of additional HIV-1 resistance mutations and probable clinical progression of HIV disease.
