Description

Repeated episodes of intercurrent infections have been postulated to be an important stimulus for progression of HIV infection. The study of intercurrent illness in patients with initially undetectable viral load removes viral load as a possible cause for virologic and immunologic changes and allows for a more direct association of the intercurrent illness with changes in viral load, viral HIV-1 phenotypes, viral HIV-1 genotypes, and T cell phenotypes. Studying intercurrent illness and viral load provides an opportunity to characterize the potentially dynamic changes not only in viral load ...

  • Documented temperature above 101degrees F during at least 1 of the 2 days prior to the day of screening and present on the day of screening, or documented temperature above 101 F on the day of the screening but no fever on 1 of the 2 days prior to screening.
  • [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/7/98:
  • Documented temperature above 101degrees F on the day of the screening.]

  • Patients receiving IL-2.
  • Patients with the following prior conditions are excluded:
  • Change in antiretroviral therapy combination within 8 weeks prior to study entry.
  • Required:
  • Concurrent enrollment in an ACTG antiretroviral therapy study [or, AS PER AMENDMENT 7/7/98, in a non-ACTG pharmaceutical company-sponsored antiretroviral treatment study].
