Abstract
Work done by this group nearly 7 years ago, evaluated a cohort of patients who, for a variety of reasons, elected to remain on a virologically failing ARV regimen. We re-evaluated these patients to determine whether their earlier years living with low level viremia impacted their future treatment options. In the absence of a cure and with the goal of maintaining HIV infection as a chronic, yet manageable disease, it is important to understand the consequences of persistent immune system activation.
Highlights
From 17th International Symposium on HIV and Emerging Infectious Diseases (ISHEID) Marseille, France. 23-25 May 2012. Work done by this group nearly 7 years ago, evaluated a cohort of patients who, for a variety of reasons, elected to remain on a virologically failing ARV regimen
We re-evaluated these patients to determine whether their earlier years living with low level viremia impacted their future treatment options
Materials and methods Two community based HIV practices with nearly 1000 patients evaluated a subset of 25 patients on stable ARV regimens for >24 months who refused treatment change despite the presence of low level viremia

Work done by this group nearly 7 years ago, evaluated a cohort of patients who, for a variety of reasons, elected to remain on a virologically failing ARV regimen. In the absence of a cure and with the goal of maintaining HIV infection as a chronic, yet manageable disease, it is important to understand the consequences of persistent immune system activation
