Early HIV treatment "economically beneficial '

Early initiation of antiretroviral treatment for HIV-infected adults in rural areas [Kampala, sub-Saharan Africa (ART) can generate the researchers discovered a wider economic benefits.

Researchers from the United States and Uganda HIV in the XIX International AIDS Conference Washington, DC, United States, today announced the-HIV adult high cd4 count is found – health status benchmarks for positive people — every day 30% longer than the average time low cd4 count who can work.

Further, school enrollment rate of children with parents show 15 percent lower cd4 count was the child.

Cd4 count is the measurement of the strength of the immune system. Normal CD4 blood level is 500-1200 per microlitre. And HIV infected, CD4 count in the body begin to decline, per microlitre level recommended reached 350 cells, initiating the artistic treatment of people. CD4 per microlitre who develops AIDS reaches less than 200 cells, and are referred to as.

Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda and that is part of a project called execution in collaboration with sustainable East African research community health (search), this new study, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco General Hospital and trauma center.

Effect of the treatment for some social economic indicators was assessed that represents this research. Is losing the ability to how people work rapidly and HIV infection among different initial population level research methods social economic indicators at various stages.

It's universal ( usually with all persons and high of tests and HIV prevalence ), combined with the artistic treatment of initial and improved access to care ' test and treat the "as is known, based on the strategy.

Before you begin the long human disease or symptoms of AIDS granted, individuals of early HIV treatment is relatively healthy holds. Also keep the transmission speed, lower within the community — by can't detect or suppress HIV viral load — reduce the retirement of HIV-positive people, researchers say.

By Hakim Sendagire, microbiology lecturer, Makerere University Medical College of "treatment, yet [AIDS blown full display] to delay even if the body is disturbed by the opportunistic infections, weakened" and said. "So long term work for the family fend off the early treatment of a healthy body can people then. "

The World Health Organization (WHO) advocated the early treatment for women in pregnant already especially people, 350 cd 4 count to 250 in its guidelines.

Expert Joseph Matovu, changes in behavior, see the benefits of early treatment of people, Makerere University School must emphasize in the minimization of side effects to receive education that compliance with any necessary SciDev.Net is.

"If it is good research proposal in terms of prevention, they do not indicate the HIV-related symptoms of disease actually may likely not sticking treatment programs who is so resistant to the drugs and they could," said Matovu.
