Litigations for HIV Related Complications 2010-11-30 .txt text/plain 6292 332 54 Specific charges were: (1) the GP should have repeated the HIV serology to confirm that the plaintiff was HIV infected, (2) the defendant was negligent in starting treatment for HIV infection without proof of disease, (3) the physician lacked knowledge of HIV infection and should have referred the patient to a specialist or HIV clinic, (4) treatment of toxic medications were given for several years without any clear indication, and (5) the GP did not adequately inform the patient on the pros and cons of therapy, nor explain the potential toxicities and side-effects. Although the CD4 + T lymphocyte quantitative count is a very useful and standard test to monitor patients for progression of HIV disease or response to therapy, it can be low in many conditions. Long-term non-progression or elite controllers represent <5% of HIV-infected subjects who maintain relatively normal CD4 + cell count and very low or immeasurable viral load for 8 years to decades without therapy. ./cache/cord-017782-dtveihrj.txt ./txt/cord-017782-dtveihrj.txt
