Impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy on hepatitis C virus RNA levels over one year in HIV-HCV co-infected individuals.
The effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on plasma HCV RNA level in HIV-HCV co-infected individuals is uncertain. This issue was investigated over 12 months in HIV-HCV co-infected subjects HAART-treated for at least six months and achieving HIV RNA suppression below 500 copies/mL. …

Therapeutic and virological outcomes in adults living with HIV / AID at 6 and 12 months after initiation of first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy in an urban population in Namibia
Antiretroviral regimens have side effects that can threaten adherence by patients resulting in evolution of viral resistance due to suboptimal drug levels. Studies have shown that drug adherence of at least 80% can result in viral load suppression. There is no literature on the association between …

Neuropsychiatric profile of a cohort of perinatally infected HIV positive children after one year of antiretroviral medication
The Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) era in the mid-nineties signalled a dramatic change in the long-term outcome of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Many children have shown significant neurologic benefit, and in particular, a decline in the incidence of HIV encephalopathy. As …
