Timing of antiretroviral therapy initiation in a nationally representative sample of HIV-infected adults receiving medical care in the United States.

abstract：:In the past few years, major advances have been made in the field of primary HIV-1 infection. Several studies have reevaluated the clinical syndrome. The emergence of new molecular laboratory techniques has permitted a detailed analysis of viral dynamics and subsequent immunologic changes. Measurements of subsets of T...
