Abstrakt:	Aim: To study efficacy of a short course of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Material and Methods: Acute HIV infection was verified in 16 infected subjected basing either on seroconversion (by immunoblotting) or a documented negative result 6-12 months before registration of a positive result for HIV antibodies. Results: HAART was given to 12 patients (combivir + nevirapin). The number of CD+ lymphocytes (by median) 1 month after the treatment increased by 185 cells/mcl, 3 months after the treatment--by 215 cells/mcl. After 1-month therapy viral load (median) diminished by 2.02 log10 copy/ml, after 3 months--by 2.31 log10 copy/ml. 71% patients had HIV RNA under 400 copy/ml. Untreated patients showed changes neither in CD4+ lymphocytes number nor in viral load. The study continues. Conclusion: HAART is used at the stage of acute infection in the presence of psychic trauma provoked by establishment of HIV-infection diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to consult the patients for preparing them for treatment and to maintain compliance.
