Maraviroc (MVC) has shown good efficacy and tolerability in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients with CCR5-tropic virus. Data on patients switching to MVC while on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients on suppressive ART switching to an MVC-containing regimen (MVC-CR), and test the hypothesis that the switch may have an impact on T cell activation.
