Objective: To evaluate the curative effect of antivirus treatment on acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods: One hundred and thirty-eight AIDS patients were administered highly active anti-retroviral medicines freely supplied by the national government,and the CD4T cells of the cases were detected regularly.Results: The CD4T cells increased the most rapidly after 3 months' treatment and reached (254.32±98.76)/mm³ after 2 years.The opportunistic infection was effectively controlled;the survival rate reached 86.36%.Conclusions: The immune function of the AIDS patients is enhanced significantly and the opportunistic infection is controlled effectively.AIDS patients should resort to the highly active anti-retroviral therapy as soon as possible.
