Sustained viral suppression and immune recovery in HIV type 1-infected children after 4 years of highly active antiretroviral therapy

Abstract

We report the data from a long-term study of 31 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HlV-1)-infected children who were treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy. A high proportion of the children had undetectable HIV-1 RNA levels. CD4+ T cell counts recovered and remained stable. Adverse events were observed frequently but were mostly mild.
