Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Among Individuals With Acute and Early HIV
Thomas Martin, Matthew P. Abrams, Christy M. Anderson, Susan J. Little
Abstract
HIV transmission is increased during acute and early HIV (AEH). Rapid antiretroviral therapy may shorten the duration of infectivity. We show rapid antiretroviral therapy in AEH is acceptable and effective, with 69.0% of participants starting ART within 7 days of HIV diagnosis disclosure, and 88.1% achieving suppression by 48 weeks.
