The median baseline HIV RNA viral load level was 98,180 copies per milliliter, while the CD4 count was 245 cells per microliter. The median baseline HBV DNA viral load level was 120 picograms per milliliter. Unfortunately, neither HIV viral load results nor CD4 counts were reported in the abstract. Correlation between triple virus infection and response also was not stated. HIV viral load suppression.
Larger studies are necessary to confirm the findings.
