Virological Response to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Is Unaffected by Antituberculosis Therapy

Impact of antituberculosis treatment on virological response to highly active antiretroviral therapy: implications for resource-limited settings?

Initial virological and immunologic response to highly active antiretroviral therapy predicts long-term clinical outcome.

Little is known about the long-term clinical outcomes for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who have received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Determining factors associated with long-term clinical outcomes early in the course of treatment may allow modifications to be made for patients who are at a greater risk of treatment failure. To evaluate these factors, we...

Factors associated with incomplete virological response to highly active antiretroviral therapy.

method: culture, 10 infections; and an alternate PCR method that used a different DNA sequence, 12. Other studies have confirmed that the specificity of PCR analysis of cervical samples is 99.7%–100%, and similar specificities can be expected for urine samples [2–5]. Therefore, for every 1000 women tested, one might expect that the results of 0–3 tests, at most, are falsely positive. We agree t...

Highly active antiretroviral therapy

The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between the awareness of HAART, beliefs regarding transmission of HIV of persons taking HAART, norms associated with sexual risk behaviour, fear of HIV/AIDS, optimism of finding a cure or vaccine, and sexual behaviour in the general population of Sweden. A mail survey was sent to 4,000 randomly selected individuals aged 16-44 years...

Metabolic Abnormalities in HIV-Positive Patients Receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

Background and Objective: Dyslipidemia has become a common problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, especially in patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic abnormalities in 2 groups of HIV infected patients receiving highly activ...
