TL;DR: Plasma viral load was a better predictor of progression to AIDS and death than was the number of CD4+ T cells, and the risk of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and death in study subjects was directly related to plasma viral load at study entry.

TL;DR: This study compared the prognostic value of plasma viral load with that of clinical, serologic, and cellular markers in a large cohort of HIV-infected men and incorporated the two most predictive markers-plasma viral load and CD4+ lymphocyte count-into a regression tree that is useful for assessing the prognosis of individual patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the evolution of the C2-V5 region of the HIV-1 env gene and of T-cell subsets in nine men with a moderate or slow rate of disease progression.

TL;DR: The objective was to compare plasma HIV-1 RNA with determinations of serum p24 antigen, neopterin, and 2-microglobulin levels and CD4+ T-cell counts as predictors of outcome in a cohort of homosexual men with documented HIV- 1 seroconversion.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that KSHV infection is specifically associated with the subsequent development of KS in AIDS patients and Homo-/bisexual and hemophiliac AIDS patients who do not develop KS appear to have a low prevalence of infection.
