Non-interventional Observational Study With Viramune® in HIV to Evaluate Gender Specific Data

VR is defined as HIV viral load of < 50 copies/mL before month 36 and without subsequent rebound or change of ARV therapy. A rebound is defined by two consecutive measurements of VL ≥ 50 copies/ml, at least two weeks apart.

A change of ARV therapy is defined as a permanent discontinuation of Viramune®. A change in the background therapy due to toxicity or intolerance is not considered failure for the analysis. Therefore, a patient remains a treatment responder in this case if all other criteria are fulfilled. A rebound is defined by two consecutive measurements of VL ≥ 50 copies/ml, at least two weeks apart, after two consecutive measurements of VL< 50 copies/ml.

The change in the log10 viral load from baseline after 36 months was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a negative change represents a decrease in viral load.

The change in the Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) cell count from baseline after 36 months was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase in CD4+ cell count.

The changes in the laboratory data (Total Cholesterol) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data ( High density protein (HDL) Cholesterol) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Low density protein (LDL) Cholesterol) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Triglycerides) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Blood Glucose) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Alanine transaminase (ALT)) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Aspartate transminase (AST)) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Gamma glutamyl transferase (Gamma GT)) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Creatinine) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .

The changes in the laboratory data (Haemoglobin) from baseline after 36 months were calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 36 months. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase, a negative change represents a decrease in the data. .
