About this trial
Since the reasons for differential immune reconstitution in HIV-infected patients are still not fully understood, we considered it reasonable to investigate whether the presence of primary HIV drug resistance mutations could be one of the factors of inadequate immune reconstitution.
Evaluation of unfavorable factors of immune reconstitution can help identify patients at risk of persistently low CD4 cell counts and CD4:CD8 ratios and requiring careful monitoring for progression to AIDS.
