: This post-marketing surveillance has been conducted by CMIC HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. on behalf of ViiV Healthcare K.K. in compliance with the relevant Japanese regulations (Ministerial Ordinance on GPSP; MHLW No. 171 of December 20, 2004, the amended ordinance, and the related notifications). The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the PMDA, the Japanese regulatory authority, and subsequently approved by the ethics committees at each participating study site. Under the GPSP regulations, written informed consent from patients is not required in post-marketing surveillance. However, the protocol specified that aggregated and analyzed results may be disseminated in scientific reports. Prior to treatment initiation, each potential participant received a detailed explanation regarding the use of the single-agent DTG or DTG/ABC/3TC, and verbal consent for therapy was obtained from all individuals before enrollment. All collected data were anonymized.
