Identifying factors associated with changes in CD4+ count in HIV-infected adults in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Identifying factors associated with changes in CD4+ count in HIV-infected adults in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

More than doubling the national mean, Saskatchewan has the highest incidence of HIV in Canada. The progression of HIV is characterized by the decline in CD4+ T cells over time and can lead to immunological AIDS. Clinicians in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, have observed a more rapid progression to AIDS in...

The progression of HIV is characterized by the decline in CD4+ T cells over time and can lead to immunological AIDS. Clinicians in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, have observed a more rapid progression to AIDS in the recent years. The goal of this retrospective longitudinal cohort study was to investigate the rate of CD4+ cell depletion, as well as to determine the effects of multiple clinical and social factors that may contribute to an accelerated progression of HIV to AIDS in this population.
