HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; HIV-1, human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Patients who had a plasma viral load decrease (ie, <1000 or 3 log10 Eq copies/mL) through the 12 mos of the study.
Patients who had an initial plasma viral load decrease (ie, <1000 or 3 log10 Eq copies/mL) after 2 mos of HAART but had a viral load reincrease (ie, 1000 or 3 log10 Eq copies/mL) at 8 to 12 mos of treatment.
Patients whose plasma viral load remained 1000 or 3 log10 Eq copies/mL throughout the 12 mos of the study.
P value (Wilcoxon) < .01;
P < .05 compared with baseline value.
