Slowing CD4 cell decline with IL-2 allows HIV treatment to be deferred by 92 weeks

Findings from ANRS 119, the Interstart trial, show that it may be possible to defer antiretroviral treatment for nearly two years by using a limited number of short courses of interleukin-2 to keep CD4 cell counts above the recommended threshold for antiretroviral treatment initiation, Jean-Michel Molina of the University of Paris reported at the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City. http://www.aidsmap.org/en/news/DF6686F9-37F2-448D-8EC8-688EB007FBB5.asp
