Abstract
A substantial proportion of patients who delay therapy until their CD4(+) cell count decreases to <200 cells/mm(3) do not achieve a normal CD4(+) cell count, even after a decade of otherwise effective antiretroviral therapy. Although the majority of patients have evidence of slow increases in their CD4(+) cell count over time, many do not. These individuals may have an elevated risk of non-AIDS-related morbidity and mortality.
