Abbreviations: 1HP, 1 month of daily rifapentine plus isoniazid; 3HP, 3 months of weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid; ART, antiretroviral therapy; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; HCV, hepatitis C virus; IQR, interquartile range; LTBI, latent tuberculosis infection; PWH, people with human immunodeficiency virus; PVL, plasma HIV RNA load; UD, undetectable.

aChronic kidney disease was defined as reduced glomerular filtration rate or kidney damage (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 of body-surface area) for more than 3 months.

bCD4 count was measured with the use of flow cytometry (BD FACS Calibur; Becton Dickinson, CA, USA).

cThe quantification of PVL was conducted using the Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HIV-1 test (version 2.0; Roche Molecular Systems) with a lower detection limit of 20 copies/mL.

dAll PWH received bictegravir-containing regimens in the form of coformulated bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF).

eMost PWH received dolutegravir-containing regimens in the form of coformulated dolutegravir/lamivudine/abacavir (n = 216), followed by coformulated dolutegravir/lamivudine (35), dolutegravir and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (7), as well as dolutegravir and lamivudine/zidovudine (2).

fOther ART included coformulated efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (n = 17) in the 1HP group, as well as efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (19), rilpivirine/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (2), and raltegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (1) in the 3HP group. Despite being contraindicated because of reduced rilpivirine exposure [16], 2 individuals chose to continue 3HP treatment with rilpivirine-containing ART after their physician's explanation.

gOne individual had potential drug interaction between dolutegravir and ferric hydroxide polymaltose complex.
