Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how two antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens affect coagulation profiles in HIV patients in Ghana.
- Most ART-experienced patients had normal Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), while ART-naïve patients showed prolonged APTT, and ART-experienced patients had higher platelet counts.
- No significant differences were observed in coagulation profiles between the two ART regimens, indicating that current ART can positively influence coagulation by improving platelet counts and APTT in HIV-infected patients.
