Lead Sponsor:

Ottawa Hospital Research Institute

Collaborating Sponsors:

Ontario HIV Treatment Network

Conditions:

HIV Infections

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Brief Summary

Purpose is to identify whether immune markerscan predict success of salvage anti-retroviral therapy.

Detailed Description

Over the last several years two markers of disease have been utilized to determine if antiretroviral therapy has been successful, one is a CD4 cell count (reflects the immunocompetence of an infected ...
