چکیده
Article history: Received 11 October 2016 Accepted 11 October 2016 Available online 13 October 2016 formation on the impact of different ART regimens on inflammatory biomarkers linked with mortality remains, however, very limited. Recently, integrase inhibitors have shown to improve inflammation or immune activation markers when compared to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. In particular, when compared to efavirenz, raltegravir normalized the CD4/CD8 ratio faster than efavirenz

Assessment of HTLV-I proviral load, HIV viral load and CD4 T cell count in infected subjects; with an emphasis on viral replication in co-infection
Objective(s): HTLV-I and HIV virus quantification is an important marker for assessment of virus activities. Since there is a direct relationship between the number of virus and disease progression, HTLV- I and HIV co-infection might have an influence on the development of viral associated diseases, thus, viral replication of these viruses and co-infection were evaluated. Materials and...
متن کاملGoing beyond current ideas about the cascade of HIV care
When initiated and taken every day exactly as prescribed and directed, HIV treatment(ART) can greatly reduce the amount of HIV in the blood (viral load), allowing the immune system to begin the process of gradually repairing itself. As the use of ART continues, the amount of HIV in the blood eventually falls very low—below the level at which it can accurately be counted with routine tests. This...
متن کاملAntiretroviral therapy initiation within seven days of enrolment: outcomes and time to undetectable viral load among children at an urban HIV clinic in Uganda
BACKGROUND Viral suppression is a critical indicator of HIV treatment success. In the era of test-and-start, little is known about treatment outcomes and time to undetectable viral loads. This study compares treatment outcomes, median times to achieve undetectable viral loads and its predictors under different antiretroviral (ART) treatment initiation schedules (i.e. within seven days of enrolm...
متن کاملEstimating the risk of HIV transmission from homosexual men receiving treatment to their HIV-uninfected partners
OBJECTIVE To determine how the risk of HIV transmission from homosexual men receiving antiretroviral treatment is related to patterns of patient monitoring and condom use. METHODS A stochastic mathematical simulation model was developed of cohorts of men in the Netherlands who have sex with men (MSM), defining the parameters of the model using observational cohort data. The model incorporates...

OBJECTIVE To assess, among people with HIV, the association of self-reported antiretroviral treatment (ART) and viral load status with condomless sex with an HIV-serodifferent partner (CLS-D). DESIGN Cross-sectional study of 3258 HIV-diagnosed adults in the United Kingdom, 2011-2012. METHODS CLS-D in the past 3 months and self-reported ART/viral load were ascertained by questionnaire. Clini...
