Viral blips during suppressive antiretroviral treatment are associated with high baseline HIV-1 RNA levels
BACKGROUND Many HIV-1-infected patients on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) have transiently elevated HIV RNA levels. The clinical significance of these viral blips is uncertain. We have determined the incidence of blips and investigated important associations in the Swedish HIV-cohort. METHODS HIV-1-infected ART naïve adults who commenced ART 2007-2013 were retrospectively included. ...

Her serial CD4 and virological parameters with ART regimes are depicted in Table I. At 91⁄2 years of age, she had positive Mantoux test (20 × 15 mm) with weight loss and normal X-ray chest. She was started on antituberculous therapy (ATT) c...
متن کاملIntermittent HIV-1 viremia (Blips) and drug resistance in patients receiving HAART.
CONTEXT Many patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy experience intermittent episodes of detectable viremia ("blips"), which may raise concerns about drug resistance, lead to costly repeat measurements of viral RNA, and sometimes trigger alterations in therapy. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that blips represent r...

Jamaica has recorded the largest increase in the rate of HIV/AIDS infection in the English-speaking Caribbean since 1985. Treatment has significantly improved recently with approximately 50% availability of antiretrovirals (ARVs) to patients. The incidence of drug induced hepatotoxicity is not well known for most ARV drugs and few studies have assessed adverse drug effects in clinical practice....
متن کاملModeling Latently Infected Cell Activation: Viral and Latent Reservoir Persistence, and Viral Blips in HIV-infected Patients on Potent Therapy
Although potent combination therapy is usually able to suppress plasma viral loads in HIV-1 patients to below the detection limit of conventional clinical assays, a low level of viremia frequently can be detected in plasma by more sensitive assays. Additionally, many patients experience transient episodes of viremia above the detection limit, termed viral blips, even after being on highly suppr...
