This study reports an analysis of clinical, virological, and immunologic outcomes in a cohort of 77 multidrug-experienced AIDS patients during 24 months of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Our results have shown a reduced risk of AIDS complications, prolonged survival, and immunologic benefit even in the absence of sustained virus suppression. The degree of immunodepression, the risk factors for HIV-1 infection, the use of 2 drugs instead of 3, and a change in protease inhibitor were independently correlated with virological failure. In the majority of studied patients, an increase in CD4+ T cells was observed after HAART. However, the increase was more pronounced in patients who showed a decrease in virus load than in those who did not. Moreover, we observed an absence of relapses among patients who permanently discontinued prophylaxis for Cytomegalovirus retinitis and atypical mycobacterial infections. Peripheral lipodystrophy developed in the majority of patients, regardless of treatment used and virological outcome.
