In other model results (data not shown), index patients in both the ED and STD clinic settings started HAART at a median CD4 count of 345 cells/μL, had a mean time from infection to the start of HAART of 11.2 years, were on HAART for a mean time of 25.3 years, and experienced the onset of AIDS an average of 22.0 years from the time of infection. This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and infection.
