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.

F2-153

P value (Wilcoxon) < .01;

F2-155

P < .05 compared with baseline value.
