  eLife Assessment

  This valuable clinical trial compares the impact of dolutegravir intensification on longitudinal measures of total HIV DNA and day 84 measures of intact HIV DNA. The trial was well-designed, and the paper is easy to read and provides hypothesis generation-level evidence that treatment intensification might decrease intact HIV DNA level in some people after 3 months. The findings are solid, with significant limitations being that study endpoints and hypotheses were not precisely defined prior to the trial, and that effect size is limited and inconsistent across trial participants.
