In July 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued formal revisions of its guidelines on the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy for HIV. The new guidelines greatly expand eligibility for treatment of adults and children, as well as for pregnant women seeking prophylaxis for vertical HIV transmission. WHO's new recommendations bring the guidelines closer to practices in developed ...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the variability in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens over time, the extent to which individuals switch, and the characteristics of those who are switching. METHODS We evaluated data collected between 1994 and 2000 from 1056 HIV-positive women enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) who reported initiating HAA...
BACKGROUND Despite having high cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates, screening for cervical precancerous lesions remains infrequent in sub-Saharan Africa. The need to screen HIV-positive women because of the higher prevalence and faster progression of cervical precancerous lesions may be heightened by the increased access to highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Policymakers ne...
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can suppress HIV-1 replication and normalize the chronic immune activation associated with infection, but restoration of naïve CD4+ T cell populations is slow and usually incomplete for reasons that have yet to be determined. We tested the hypothesis that damage to the lymphoid tissue (LT) fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) network contributes to naïv...
CD1d-restricted NKT cells play important regulatory roles in various immune responses and are rapidly and selectively depleted upon infection with HIV-1. The cause of this selective depletion is incompletely understood, although it is in part due to the high susceptibility of CD4+ NKT cells to direct infection and subsequent cell death by HIV-1. Here, we demonstrate that highly active antiretro...
To the Editor: Psychiatric comorbidities are known to impair adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals and to affect women and men differently. To date, it is still controversial whether women are at higher risk of HIV progression or nonadherence to HAART. The VESPA survey, which enrolled a French representative sample o...
Seventeen human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients who were harboring untreated subclinical visceral leishmaniasis (VL) were prospectively followed up. None of the 11 patients who received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) presented with symptomatic VL during follow-up, whereas 2 out of 6 patients who received therapy other than HAART had an episode of overt kala-azar. These fi...
Complex treatment schedules for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, which can have a high pill burden and can include multiple daily doses, in addition to the adverse effects that the medications can cause, may reduce patient adherence to therapy. Reduced adherence prevents achievement of the desired goal of full suppression of HIV replication, and it also promotes the development of dr...
Up to 30% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who are receiving long-term highly active antiretroviral therapy do not exhibit a marked increase in the CD4(+) T cell count, despite achieving complete suppression of the HIV load. These patients are referred to as "immunological nonresponders." When treating immunological nonresponders, the practicing clinician has several ques...
PURPOSE Electronic-monitored adherence is often used as the primary outcome measure for evaluating adherence interventions. However, electronic monitoring may not only measure adherence, but may also improve or impede adherence, making it difficult to assess the extent to which the observed effect size is attributed to the intervention versus electronic monitoring. This study examined whether e...
