Introduction: For those with heavily treatment experienced (HTE) HIV-1 and virologic failure,
therapeutic options are limited. A variety of barriers such as drug resistance, side effects …

Clinical outcomes are inferior for individuals with HIV having suboptimal CD4 T-cell recovery
during antiretroviral therapy (ART). We investigated if the levels of infection and the …

Elucidating the mechanisms underlying the persistence and location of the HIV reservoir is
critical for developing cure interventions. While it has been shown that levels of T-cell …

Background The underlying mechanisms of incomplete immune reconstitution in treated HIV-
positive patients are very complex and may be multifactorial, but perturbation of chemokine …

Background In people living with HIV (PLHIV), the CD4/CD8 ratio has been proposed as a
useful marker for non-AIDS events. However, its predictive ability on mortality over CD4 …

Background In people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART)
leads to sustained effective suppression of viral replication and increasing CD4+ T cell …

Objective: Chronic inflammation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for
people with HIV (PWH). Psychological stress is an important contributor to this chronic …

Background: Delayed CD4 recovery after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a novel
potential mechanism by which alcohol consumption leads to increased morbidity and …

Immune recovery reflects health conditions. Our goal was to estimate the time it takes to
achieve immune recovery and its associated factors, in people living with HIV (PLHIV), after …
