Prognostic value of baseline human immunodeficiency virus type 1 DNA measurement for disease progression in patients receiving nucleoside therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 DNA assay data were obtained at baseline from 111 HIV-1-positive subjects who were treated with nucleosides. Higher baseline DNA level, HIV-1 RNA level, and infectious titer were comparably associated with an increased hazard of disease progression (each P<.03). Only DNA level was significantly associated with survival (adjusted hazard ratio for 1 log(10) higher level, 3.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.44-11.09; P=.008).

Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection with regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs) has contributed to marked improvements in HIV-related disease progression and mortality. Five PIs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and have potent activity in vitro. PIs with 2 nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors have demonstrated prolonged ...
متن کاملNo Role of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) Infection on HIV Progression in Naïve HIV Patients
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a common infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients and may accelerate HIV progression by rising HIV viral load and decreasing CD4 count. However, the available data regarding the influence of HSV-2 seropositivity on HIV progression in HIV individuals are inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to determine HSV-2 seroprevalence in na&iu...
