Immunological and virological benefits resulted from short-course treatment during primary HIV infection: a meta-analysis.
<h4>Objectives</h4>To assess the potential immunological and virological effects that result from short-course antiretroviral treatment during primary HIV infection (PHI). And to investigate whether treatment initiation time, treatment duration and follow-up time after treatment interrup...
