Randomized trial including HIV-1 pregnant women at 14–28 weeks’ gestation, comparing TAF/FTC + DTF vs. TDF/FTC + DTG vs. TDF/FTC/EFV. At delivery, DTG regimens were superior to TDF/FTC/EFV in virological efficacy. TAF/FTC + DTG had the lowest frequency of composite adverse pregnancy outcomes and of neonatal deaths
