Summary
In the last years Structured Treatment Interruptions (STI) have been proposed to reduce
HAART-related toxicity and to increase patients' compliance. ISS PART is a randomized
comparison of repeated STIs versus continuous HAART in chronically HIV-infected subjects with
persistent suppression of viral replication. The two arms of the study will be compared in
terms of immunological response (proportion of patients with CD4>500/mmc) at 2 years.
