Early antiretroviral therapy prevents non-AIDS outcomes in HIV-infected people, study concludes

21 July 2015

Starting antiretroviral therapy early not only prevents serious AIDS-related diseases, but also prevents the onset of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other non-AIDS-related diseases in HIV-infected people, according to a new analysis of data. This is the first large-scale randomized clinical trial to establish that earlier antiretroviral treatment benefits all HIV-infected individuals. Rates of both serious AIDS-related events and serious non-AIDS-related events were significantly reduced with early therapy.img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/A8qAj6t-BME” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/
