The study participants had been undergoing HAART for a median period of 18 months, Katlama et al. said, and showed at least 75x10(6) CD4 cells per liter of blood and a viral load of less than 30,000 copies per milliliter. All asymptomatic patients tested negative for CMV blood markers ("Discontinuation of maintenance therapy for cytomegalovirus retinitis in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy," AIDS, ...
