Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS o2R0xPR9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of release from prison and subsequent re-incarceration on the viral loads of HIV-infected individuals receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods. Fifteen re-incarcerated HIV-infected prisoners on HAART were identified from a retrospective cohort of HIV-infected prison inmates released from January 1,1997, to August 31,1999. The re-incarcerated prisoners were matched (1 : 2) to 30 HIV-infected incarcerated prisoners on HAART who remained incarcerated during the re-incarcerated participants'release time period. The outcomes measured were plasma HIV RNA levels, CD4+lymphocyte counts, percentage of re-incarcerated and incarcerated participants with plasma HIV RNA levels |
