Article Synopsis

The study investigates the timing and methods of treatment for HIV-positive patients during the early stages of infection, focusing on immunological and virological outcomes.
A total of 25 patients were treated at the University of Milan and Turin between 2009 and 2014, receiving a combination of antiretroviral medications and monitored over 18 months for CD4 cell count and HIV-RNA levels.
Results showed that patients treated during acute infection had a significantly higher increase in CD4 cells compared to those treated during recent infection, although overall virological success was similar between the two groups.

HIV drug resistance still represents a crucial problem in antiretroviral therapy. We report a case of a naive patient, harboring a CRF11-cpx virus, which showed drug resistance mutations in the reverse transcriptase. A drug resistance genotyping test was performed for the pol (protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase) and V3 regions.
