Discover how understanding your viral load and CD4 count puts you in control of HIV treatment and transforms confusing ...

Switching HIV Treatment in Adults Based on CD4 Count Versus Viral Load Monitoring: A Randomized, Non-Inferiority Trial in Thailand. PLoS Medicine , 2013; 10 (8): e1001494 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed ...

In untreated patients, baseline plasma viral load accounted for only 4% to 6% of CD4-cell loss. Higher plasma viral load has been linked to increased risk for HIV disease progression in population ...

For adults infected with HIV in Thailand a monitoring strategy based on CD4 count (a type of white blood cell) is non-inferior to the recommended monitoring strategy measuring the amount of HIV ...

Checking the viral load and CD4 T-cell count as part of the baseline evaluation, then monitoring the HIV-1 viral load as a response to treatment, is the cornerstone of HIV treatment.

Comparing outcomes according to viral suppression status in people with CD4 counts above 500, the study found that even with a high CD4 count, people with viral load above 50 copies/ml were three ...

What might cause a situation in which the CD4+ cell count of an HIV-infected patient progressively rises following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but viral load, after an initial ...

Researchers assessed whether low CD4 count and high HIV viral load increase the risk for treatment failure among treatment-naive patients receiving first-line ART.

There was no significant difference in the risk of death between people with CD4 counts above 200 and HIV-negative people. Last available viral load (measured within the previous year) was available ...

A subpopulation of the immune cells targeted by HIV may play an important role in controlling viral loads after initial infection, potentially helping to determine how quickly infection will progress.

Alcohol consumption, high viral load and low CD4 cell count appeared to be independent risk factors for developing active tuberculosis in patients with HIV, according to a report published in Open ...

For adults infected with HIV in Thailand a monitoring strategy based on CD4 count (a type of white blood cell) is non-inferior to the recommended monitoring strategy measuring the amount of HIV ...
