摘要

HAART has changed HIV infection from a life-threatening into a chronic condition, but the perspective of never ending HAART once it is started is daunting to many patients. As a cure for HIV infection is currently not in sight, many patients, who are looking to their physicians for advice on whether to stop HAART. New drugs and combinations with better safety and tolerability profiles have become available , but there will still be patients who experience toxicity [1-3]; therefore, being able to take a rest from HAART may be beneficial . Worldwide, the cost of treating millions with HIV burdens fragile economies; intermittent treatment promises relief. Many scheduled treatment interruption (STI) studies have shown between 40 and 60% drug savings with STI [4-7]. For example, in Thailand, using the least expensive generic fixed dose combination of stavudine/lamivudineevirapine, which is USdollar27 per month, the yearly cost of treating 500 000 HIV-positive individuals would decrease from USdollar162 million to .USdollar81 million if there is a 50% drug saving. Moreover, |STI may provide the possibility that a potent and inexpensive drug such as stavudine may still be used widiout many side-effects, whereas continuous use would necessitate its replacement by a less toxic, but mostly more expensive, alternative. However, these potential benefits have to be weighed against the potential risks, which include the development of HIV-related illnesses, acute retroviral syndrome, thrombocytopenia, resistance and the transmission of HIV infection.
