Abstract
In 61 antiretroviral-naive HIV-2-infected patients starting triple therapy at a median CD4 cell count of 136 cells/microl, the median increase was 41 cells/microl at month 12, which was no different among those on protease inhibitors or triple nucleoside analogues. Despite virological response, as the median plasma load was under the detectable threshold from month 3, CD4 cell recovery remained poor in treated HIV-2 infection. Our results raise the question of the optimal regimen to recommend in HIV-2-infected patients.Keywords
