Overview

Retrospective cohort study evaluates antiretroviral therapy's effectiveness in HIV patients, indicating improved health outcomes.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy among HIV infected patients over a ten-year period.
  • Retrospective cohort study design
  • Data collected from 383 HIV infected patients
  • Parameters measured include CD4 count and viral load
  • Analysis performed using Microsoft Excel 2016
  • Antiretroviral therapy increased CD4 count and reduced viral load among patients
  • The primary ART regimen switched from AZT-3TC-NVP to TDF-3TC (FTC)-DTG due to resistance
  • Only one regimen switch occurred in 2018 to enhance therapy adherence and effectiveness
  • Increased CD4 count correlates with improved survival rates and resistance to infections
