Summary

It is not known if anti-HIV treatment for recently infected patients improves long-term patient prognosis. The purpose of this study is to determine if a one year course of anti-HIV medications slows progression of HIV disease in adults recently infected with HIV. Study hypothesis: A one-year course of HAART administered during acute or early seroconversion may slow the progression of HIV infection.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Viral load less than 5, 000 copies/ml within 30 days of study entry in participants who have been infected with HIV-1 for more than six months prior to study entry
  • Use of systemic cancer chemotherapy, systemic investigational agents, specific antiretroviral medications, or immunomodulators (growth factors, systemic corticosteroids, HIV vaccines, immune globulin, interleukins, interferons) within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Current alcohol or drug use that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study
