At the completion of this educational session, learners will:
- Know that low CD4/CD8 ratios in HIV infection are associated with higher risk of non-AIDS-related morbidity and mortality.
- Understand the dynamic of CD4/CD8 ratios during acute and early HIV infection.
- Appreciate how immediate/early ART initiation may positively influence this dynamic, and reduce the risk of non-AIDS morbidity and mortality.
