EVERYONE Should Start ARTIAS-USA DHHS Guidelines • HIV replication has negative consequences • Earlier ART prolongs survival • ART blocks HIV transmission BUT… arguments for delay in ART include • Anticipated detection of novel “harm” (?) • Ongoing search for visible “benefit” (?) • START and TEMPERANO studies (?) • Distracting focus on logistical challenges
HPTN 052 Cost EffectivenessWalensky et al. NEJM, 2013 HPTN 052 results for India, South Africa used Treatment/Prevention benefits both considered i) In South Africa, over the short term, early ART is “cost-saving” ii) Over time ART in INDIA and South Africa proves “very cost effective”
Higher employment at CD4≥500 Thurminathy, Health Affairs ,2012 • Compared to CD4<200, CD4≥500 associated with • 5.8 more days/month • 2.2 more hours/day (40% more than ref. mean of 5.5) • Linear regression model with age, age-squared, and sex included as controls • ** p<0.05, * p<0.10 • Reference group has CD4<200 Those with CD4≥500 worked nearly 1 week/month more than those with CD4<200, and as much as HIV-uninfected adults
Who SHOULD We Treat? • Couples (WHO Guidelines) • CD4 Count>500 (WHO) • Pregnant women (WHO) WHO estimates 26,000,00 people
Fig. 1a: Time series of maps showing the evolution of the proportion of the HIV-infected adults (≥15 years of age) receiving ART across the demographic surveillance area (2005 to 2008, left to right, top row; 2009 to 2011, left to right, bottom row). F Tanser et al. Science 2013;339:966-971
Antiretroviral Treatment Prevents HIV • Axiom: viral suppression stops HIV spread • Axiom: immediate ART improves health • 30 years of “mixed messages” are a problem • A NEW message will improve adherence • Immediate, universal ART is the best strategy available for the HIV pandemic
