| Popis: | Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) has changed the mode of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) care in the developed countries, but its benefits and effects have not been well elucidated in Nigeria. In this case-control study, we have investigated the immediate effects of HAART with stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine on the haematological and immunological parameters of 70 antiretroviral naive, HIV-positive subjects during the first 8 weeks of therapy. Thirty HIV-positive antiretroviral naive individuals not yet on HAART were included as controls. At baseline, treated subjects and controls did not differ significantly in their haematological and immunological parameters. After 8 weeks of HAART, the differences in mean haemoglobin (t = 5.77, p Keywords : HIV/AIDS, antiretrovirals, immuno-haematologial parameters.
