We used \u03c7\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n and Student t tests to analyze intragroup differences; survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results: Twenty (22%) of the 91 patients had newly diagnosed, persistent or progressive KS despite CD4 counts >300 cells\/mm\n 3<\/jats:sup>\n and undetectable HIV VLs. Age, gender, ethnicity, mode and duration of HIV acquisition, type of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and KS therapy did not differ significantly (P \u2264 .005) between this group and the remaining 71 patients. Although tumor stage and response to KS therapy were similar, there was a significantly greater risk of death among the patients with CD4 counts <300 cells\/mm\n 3<\/jats:sup>\n and detectable HIV VLs (P = .048).\n <\/jats:p>\n Conclusions: In the highly active antiretroviral (HAART) era, a substantial proportion of patients with KS had undetectable HIV VLs and CD4 counts greater than the level typically associated with opportunistic diseases. They required systemic therapy to control their KS but were significantly less likely to die and demonstrated a trend toward better 15-year survival than patients having KS with lesser CD4 counts and detectable HIV VLs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545109709341852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,31]],"date-time":"2009-08-31T21:37:36Z","timestamp":1251754656000},"page":"279-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["A Retrospective Analysis of AIDS-Associated Kaposi\u2019s Sarcoma in Patients With Undetectable HIV Viral Loads and CD4 Counts Greater Than 300 cells\/mm3"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Deepthi","family":"Mani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine, Spokane Medical Centers, Spokane, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Neil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Israel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hematology and Oncology, Virginia Mason Medical Center.
