AIM: Evaluate virological and immunological responses to HAART.

METHODS: 12 month treatment outcome was defined as successful (TS=VLBLD+>50CD4 cell rise), discordant immunological response(DIR=VLBLD+<50CD4 cell rise), discordant virological response(DVR=+VL+ >50CD4 cell rise) and failing (TF=+VL+<50CD4 cell rise). 24 month data and disease progression were obtained.

RESULTS:

All TS DIR DVR TF P=
Number(%) 1141 757(66.4) 186(16.3) 98(8.6) 100(8.8)
Baseline CD4(cells/µL) 175 157 264 151 225 <0.001
VL(copies/ml) 71,138 88,792 29,791 101,818 67,091 <0.001
Rate of CD4 decline 9.7 4.8 9.5 4.7 <0.001
preHAART [9.1–10.3] [3.7–6.0] [7.9–11.0] [3.3–6.2]
(cells/mL/month[95%CI])
24 month outcome N(%) 755 548(72.6)* 85(11.3) 65(8.6) 57(7.5) *<0.05
Disease Progression(%) 6.3 4.6* 8.9* 4.2 9.4 *0.02

CONCLUSIONS: 24.9% experience DR at 12 months, affected by age, CD4 count, VL and rate of CD4 decline. DIR and DVR have a good treatment outcome at 24 months. <50 CD4 rise is more predictive of DP than a positive VL.
