This study describes rates and correlates of disease progression and survival among 194 female sex workers in northern Thailand who were infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1; 96% with subtype E). The median rate of CD4 T lymphocyte decline (3.9 cells//*L/month), median time from...

Summary: | This study describes rates and correlates of disease progression and survival among 194 female sex workers in northern Thailand who were infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1; 96% with subtype E). The median rate of CD4 T lymphocyte decline (3.9 cells//*L/month), median time from infection to 100,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL were 15.4 times higher (95% confidence interval, 5.2–45.2) than among women with |
