Effect of baseline CD4 cell counts on the clinical significance of short-term immunologic response to antiretroviral therapy in individuals with virologic suppression.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Achieving virologic suppression is a clear therapeutic goal for patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However, the effects of immunologic responses, whether measured as CD4 count changes from baseline or CD4 ... Read more...

Raltegravir, etravirine, and ritonavir-boosted darunavir: a safe and successful rescue regimen for multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Boosted darunavir (DRV/r) plus etravirine (ETR), in DUET trials, and raltegravir, in BENCHMRK trials, showed high rates of virologic response in patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection, particularly when associated with two ... Read more...

Gender differences in discontinuation of antiretroviral treatment regimens.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Reported reasons for change or discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy ([delta]ART) include adverse events, intolerability, and nonadherence. Little is known how reasons for [delta]ART differ by gender. METHODS: In a retrospective ... Read more...
