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 ...

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

CD4 count is non-inferior to viral load for treatment switching in adults with HIV Date: August 6, 2013 Source: Public Library of Science Summary: For adults infected with HIV in Thailand a ...

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.

In the last 5 months, CD4+ cell count rose from 374 cells/mcL to 626 cells/mcL, but viral load shot up from 6300 copies/mL to 16,680 copies/mL. This patient is extremely regular in taking medication.

CD4 count data within the previous year were available for 3574 people with HIV (43%). Of these, 61% had a CD4 count above 500, 16% between 350 and 500 and 22% below 350. Viral load data within the ...

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.

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 ...

In July, a Spanish research group reported that a low CD4 count or unsuppressed viral load raised the risk of severe COVID-19. Last month, US researchers reported that an unsuppressed viral load or a ...

People living with HIV face unique oral health challenges that require special attention and care. The virus's impact on the ...

The amount of HIV virus in the patients' blood (known as viral load) as well as CD4 count was measured for each patient every 3 months but for patients randomized to one of the clinical trial's ...
