TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified predictors of viral failure and documented genotypic mutations in a subset of patients with viral failure after 12 months on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sought to determine the incidence and the long-term effects of TB during ART on HIV treatment outcome, and the risk factors for incident TB in a large urban HIV clinic in Uganda.

TL;DR: There is a high rate of underreporting of OIs in a routine HIV clinic database, which has important implications for the use and interpretation of routine observational databases for research and audit, and highlights the need for regular data validation of these databases.

TL;DR: In most patients, PPE disappears during HAART and PPE severity scores were higher in patients whose first-line HAART failed to control plasma viral load, and patients with viral load > 400 copies/ml had significantly higher PPE scores at months 9 to 12 than the patients with < 400 copy/ml.

TL;DR: In male PSC patients with severe disease with bile duct stenosis requiring intervention, the common I148M variant of the PNPLA3 gene is a risk factor for reduced survival.
