EFFECT OF HAART ON OXIDATIVE DNA DAMAGE IN HIV PATIENTS AT UITH IN ILORIN.
This study found that HIV infection causes oxidative DNA damage which is more in patients who have not started HAART than those on HAART. This showed that the TLD-HAART regimen reduces HIV-associated oxidative stress over time, though not completely. This finding further supports a critical role of oxidative stress in HIV infection, a protective effect of HAART, and a potential role of antioxidants that requires further research.
