摘要
To determine the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the viro-immunological response of older HIV-positive patients, we prospectively selected 58 older cases and 116 younger controls. The CD4 T-cell count at baseline was lower in cases, whereas the HIV viral load was similar in both groups. Cases were more frequently affected by co-morbid conditions. Under HAART, a significant increase in CD4 T-cell numbers was observed in both groups, but there was no statistical difference regarding the response to HAART.
