title: The immunological and virological response in human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infected Indian individuals on HAART therapy: a one-year follow up study.
abstract: Currently, antiretroviral therapy has become more affordable even in developing countries and it is being used in India. Fifteen HIV-1 infected individuals, who were on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), were followed up for an average period of one year. The plasma viral load and CD4+ T cell estimation done at mean intervals of 5 months and 11 months after initiation of therapy showed a good response to therapy in 14 (93%) individuals.
