2 Abstract Background

cr ipt

Combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) effectively controls HIV infection but does not eliminate HIV and life-long treatment is therefore required. HIV-specific

A cohort of 49 cART-naive HIV-infected subjects from Thailand (mean baseline CD4 count 188 cells/µl and mean viral load 5.4 log10 copies/ml) was followed for 96 weeks
