Article Synopsis
- This study looked at acute HIV infections in Taiwan, finding that 6.9% of newly diagnosed HIV cases during the period had acute infections.
- The most common symptoms reported were fever, fatigue, and muscle pain, with an average HIV RNA load of 5.9 log copies/ml and some patients having critically low CD4 counts.
- Results indicated that lower CD4 counts and higher liver enzyme levels were linked to higher HIV RNA loads, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and treatment to avoid severe illness.
