摘要

Objective: This study aimed to simultaneously measure and assess the correlation betweenthe available HIV infection parameters including HIV antibody, p24 Antigen, CD4 cellcount, and viral load at the different stages of HIV disease among HIV-positive individuals inIran.Materials and Methods: Fifty HIV-positive individuals were classified into three stages (1, 2, and3) according to the HIV disease stages classification, available in Control of Disease and Prevention(CDC) guideline. 10 ml of the venous blood sample was collected to run the tests for HIV antibodyand p24 Ag levels, CD4 cell counts, and viral load. Pearson’s correlation test was employedto calculate the coefficients for the in-between correlation of different HIV parameters ineach stage.Results: Of 50 participants, 17 (34%), 25 (50%), and 8 (16%) patients belonged to stages 1, 2, and3, respectively. Sexual relationship was the main route of HIV transmission among the patients(36%); however, injecting drug use (20%) was also reported frequently. There was no significantcorrelation between the parameters of HIV disease in different stages in the present study.Conclusion: The findings showed no correlation between HIV parameters in the present study.Considering the fact that the association of HIV antibodies with HIV disease progression in infectedindividuals is independent of HIV-1 RNA levels, combined measurement of HIV-1 RNAand CD4 cell counts should be routinely carried out in HIV infected patients follow up.
