In his presentation, Andrea Incerti summarizes the long term clinical, immunological and virological characteristics of HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in southern Myanmar. This is one of the only few studies that describes long-term outcomes of patients under antiretroviral therapy in low and middle income countries. Adult patients started on ART from 2004 and still on ART on 2015 were enrolled in the study. The MSF team showed good immunological and virological outcomes in patients on ART for 9 years, although observed an initial high mortality rate in the first year. A high proportion of comorbidities (co-infections such as TB or hepatitis) was observed even in presence of ART.
