Here are some things to ask your doctor

The HLA-B*5701 screening test

Before you take TRIUMEQ, your doctor will give you a genetic screening test if you have not already had one. If you test positive for the HLA-B*5701 gene variation, you can't take TRIUMEQ.

If your
HLA-B*5701 test
is POSITIVE
  • You have the HLA-B*5701 gene variation.
  • This means you should not take medicines containing abacavir, including TRIUMEQ.
  • You have a much higher risk for a serious allergic reaction (hypersensitivity reaction) that can cause death if you take medicines containing abacavir, including TRIUMEQ.

 

If your
HLA-B*5701 test
is POSITIVE
  • You have the HLA-B*5701 gene variation.
  • This means you should not take medicines containing abacavir, including TRIUMEQ.
  • You have a much higher risk for a serious allergic reaction (hypersensitivity reaction) that can cause death if you take medicines containing abacavir, including TRIUMEQ.

 

If your
HLA-B*5701 test
is NEGATIVE
  • You do not have the HLA-B*5701 gene variation.
  • You may still have a hypersensitivity reaction to TRIUMEQ, though the risk is much lower.
  • Ask your doctor if a medicine containing abacavir, like TRIUMEQ, may be right for you.
If your
HLA-B*5701 test
is NEGATIVE
  • You do not have the HLA-B*5701 gene variation.
  • You may still have a hypersensitivity reaction to TRIUMEQ, though the risk is much lower.
  • Ask your doctor if a medicine containing abacavir, like TRIUMEQ, may be right for you.

TRIUMEQ by the numbers

Clinical information about TRIUMEQ: SINGLE Study

SINGLE is a medical study of 833 adult patients living with HIV-1 who had never taken HIV-1 treatment before. In that study, more patients got to undetectable (less than 50 copies of HIV-1 RNA in a mL of blood) with TRIUMEQ than with Atripla®. The difference in results was mostly due to more patients on Atripla stopping their medicine because of side effects than patients on TRIUMEQ.

Your results may vary.

(ABOUT 3 YEARS):

Clinical information about TRIUMEQ in women: ARIA Study

ARIA was a 48-week medical study with 495 adult women who had never taken HIV-1 medicines before. The women were split into two groups: one group was given TRIUMEQ and the other group was given Reyataz®/Norvir®/Truvada®.

ARIA was an open-label study, so both the patients and the healthcare providers knew which medicine the patients were taking.

Your results may vary.
