T1  - Boosting the CD4 Count in HIV Infection: Comparative Effects of Highly Active Anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) and Different Modalities of Physical Exercise on Biomarkers of Immunity
JF  - Current Therapeutic Research
N2  - A decline in the CD4 count is a common feature in HIV/AIDS, suggesting a compromise in immunity of patients. In response, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is prescribed to slow-down a diminution in the CD4 count and risk of AIDS-related malignancies. However, exercise may improve both the utility and population of innate immune cell components, and may be beneficial for patients with HIV infection. Comparing the effects of different exercises against HAART, on CD4 count, helps in understanding the role and evidence-based application of exercises to ameliorate immune deficiency.
