TL;DR: Prolonged survival was associated with receiving therapy that including clarithromycin and receiving combination antiretroviral therapy that included a protease inhibitor and with receiving antimicrobial prophylaxis, but 32 (89%) of 36 patients did not adhere to the proPHylaxis regimen.

TL;DR: The performance characteristics of an enhanced-sensitivity branched-DNA assay (bDNA) and a reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay (RT-PCR) were compared in a molecular diagnostic laboratory and one non-B subtype was recognized in clinical specimens based on the ratio of values obtained with the two methods.

TL;DR: The data suggest that ART-induced bone loss occurs early, is aligned with early events of immune reconstitution, and these immune changes provide a unifying mechanism to explain in part the skeletal decline common to all ART.

TL;DR: Ritonavir C24 was not different in the PI arms and had no relationship with the modest but comparable increases in lipids observed with either atazanavir or darunavir, and raltegravir produced the most favorable lipid profile.

TL;DR: Despite the use of extensive testing, a definite etiology in a large number of cases of pneumonia was not found and the rarity of ‘atypical agents’ could simplify the empiric approach to therapy.
