Update on highly active antiretroviral therapy: progress and strategies [PDF]
HIV patients who have detectable viral loads (1,000-5,000 copies/mL) and/or evidence of immunologic dysfunction (CD4+ T-lymphocyte count < 500/mm3) should be treated with a potent combination antiretroviral regimen. Currently, this is to consist of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) with at least one protease inhibitor (PI), or a ...

Mortality of patients lost to follow-up in antiretroviral treatment programmes in resource-limited settings: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The retention of patients in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes is an important issue in resource-limited settings. Loss to follow up can be substantial, but it is unclear what the outcomes are in patients who are lost to programmes ...
