Implementation and Operational Research: Effects of CD4 Monitoring Frequency on Clinical End Points in Clinically Stable HIV-Infected Patients With Viral Suppression

Current treatment guidelines for HIV infection recommend routine CD4 lymphocyte (CD4) count monitoring in patients with viral suppression. This may have a limited impact on influencing care as clinically meaningful CD4 decline rarely occurs during viral suppression. In a regional HIV observational c...

Zusammenfassung:Current treatment guidelines for HIV infection recommend routine CD4 lymphocyte (CD4) count monitoring in patients with viral suppression. This may have a limited impact on influencing care as clinically meaningful CD4 decline rarely occurs during viral suppression. In a regional HIV observational cohort in the Asia-Pacific region, patients with viral suppression (2 consecutive viral loads
