AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 20:47-54. 2004..TREC values, which likely represent a simple indicator of naive T-lymphocyte reserve, may be a clinically useful marker for long-term prognosis of HIV-1 infection and for immune reconstitution after successful HAART...- Differences in HIV RNA levels before the initiation of antiretroviral therapy among 1864 individuals with known HIV-1 seroconversion datesGiota Touloumi
