Adverse events that led to patients discontinuing treatment were infrequent and similar in both groups. Mild nausea was more common with the Quad, but patients were less likely to have dizziness, abnormal dreams, insomnia, and rash compared with the Atripla regimen. The second trial included 708 treatment-naïve adults from 146 medical centers across Australia, Europe, North America, and Thailand.
