Sixty-two human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) controllers (6 elite and 56 viremic controllers) in the US Military Department of Defense HIV Natural History Study cohort initiated highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and achieved statistically significant mean CD4 cell count increases, although the gains were lower than those in treated noncontrollers. HIV controllers experienced CD4 cell count reconstitution with HAART regardless of pretherapy viral load, including patients with undetectable viral loads at HAART initiation.

D014481 United States A country in NORTH AMERICA between CANADA and MEXICO.
D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
