Association of nadir CD4 counts with carotid-intima media thickness and inflammation markers in HIV infected patients

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Background: During HIV infection, apart from use of PI-based regimen, low CD4+ T-cell count has also been identified as a vascular risk factor. Initiating ART in patients with higher nadir CD4 counts is speculated to better normalise CVD risks and inflammatory response. We aimed to study effect of nadir CD4 count on CVD and inflammatory response in ART naive and treated HIV patients.
