Abstract
- Initiating antiretroviral treatment: Zidovudine therapy is recommended for patients with symptomatic HIV infection whose CD4 lymphocyte counts are below 500/microL. Treatment is also an option for asymptomatic patients with counts of 200-500/microL. According to new guidelines, watchful waiting is also an option. The results of the Concorde trial have cast more uncertainty on the long-term usefulness of early antiretroviral therapy in patients with asymptomatic infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
