Long-term cohort

December 31, 2018

Project no.: HIV-NAT 006

Brief summary: This is a long-term, post study cohort of HIV-infected patients who previously participated in HIV-NAT study protocols. Information collected from this cohort will provide further insights into the long-term safety and durability of various antiretroviral therapeutic approaches, efficacy of HIV viral load and CD4 cell counts as predictors of disease progression, mortality, resistance profiles, adherence, immune recovery syndrome, opportunistic infections or malignancies, incidence of lipodystrophy, other metabolic complications, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, and endocrine function, skin, gastrointestinal system and urogenital tract problems and quality of life.
