Background: Efavirenz (EFV) is widely used for the treatment of HIV, but there is some uncertainty regarding its relationship to suicidality.  Here we examine the effect of initial treatment with an EFV-containing versus EFV-free regimen on the risk of suicidality. Methods:   Data from four ACTG studies (A5095, A5142, A5175, A5202) of antiretroviral-naïve participants enrolled from 2001-2007 were included. Participants in each trial were randomized to EFV-containing or EFV-free (protease inhibitor or 3-nucleoside) regimens; assignment to EFV was open label...
