Prognostic Value of Baseline Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 DNA Measurement for Disease Progression in Patients Receiving Nucleoside Therapy

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 DNA assay data were obtained at baseline from 111 HIV-1–positive subjects who were treated with nucleosides. Higher baseline DNA level, HIV-1 RNA level, and infectious titer were comparably associated with an increased hazard of disease progression (each P<.03). Only DNA level was significantly associated with survival (adjusted hazard ratio for 1 log10 higher level, 3.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.44–11.09; P=.008)
