The paper presents the successful experience with a dual (lopinavir/ritonavir + lamivudine) ART regimen in a 60-year-old patient with newly diagnosed HIV infection in the presence of polyvalent allergy and multiple comorbidities. This 4-year regimen has shown good tolerance, therapeutic remission of HIV infection, and HIV suppression. Immune system functions were restored. Taking into account the increase in the number of patients receiving ART, including the elderly with various comorbidities, it has been justified to incorporate simplified dual ART regimens in the protocols and to introduce them into clinical practice for certain groups of HIV-infected patients.
