AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess the durability of the most commonly prescribed HAART regimens in the Maltese HIV cohort since the start of HAART. The case notes and confidential database of patients suffering from HIV were reviewed from the year of the start of HAART, and the response of HIV viral load and CD4 cell counts to HAART recorded. The majority of patients with HIV are fully suppressed without major changes on anti-retroviral regimens. This might reflect a high level of adherence to anti-retroviral therapy.
