Our study population came from a public HIV outpatient clinic in New
Orleans, La. All subjects and data were from the Adult Spectrum of
Disease study, a prospective study funded by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention examining the natural history of HIV. This was a
cross-sectional study of HIV-infected persons who attended the clinic
between January 1996 and July 1998 and had a CD4+ cell
count less than 0.50 × 109/L
(500/µL) or a viral load greater than
20,000 copies/mL. All patients had access to PIs through Ryan
White CARE Act funds. Logistic regression was used to determine
what characteristics were associated with failure to receive PIs.
