Prevalence and predictors of highly active antiretroviral therapy use in patients with HIV infection in the United States
Article Abstract:
Many HIV patients are not receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which became the standard treatment for HIV infection in 1996. African-Americans, drug addicts, heterosexual women, poor patients, and those with CD4 T cell counts greater than 500 were less likely to be receiving HAART.
