17th CROI 2010, San Francisco, CA - 2010 Background: Discontinuation of HAART in chronic HIV-1 infection is accompanied by a rapid rise in plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (pVL) and a decrease in CD4+ T-cell counts. However, pVL and immunological dynamics following Poster 687: Short-term plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load
transitory cessation of HAART after OLT in HIV-1–infected patients on immunosuppressive therapy has not been wel characterized. The aim of this study is to describe the short-term (4 weeks) dynamics of pVL and CD4/CD8
and immunological changes following temporary
subset changes after discontinuation of HAART. discontinuation of HAART after liver transplantation Methods: We included 25 consecutive HCV/HIV-coinfected patients who underwent OLT between 2002-2006 and had on HAART a pVL below detection levels (BDL, <50 copies/mL) at OLT, who transiently discontinued cART and (OLT) in HIV-1–infected recipients
restarted it at least 7 days later. Plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load and T cell subsets were determined before after cART discontinuation. Data were obtained from the FIPSE OLT-HIV-05-GESIDA 45-05 database. Results: Ten patients were off cART at 6-9 days of OLT, 11 after 10-17 days and 4 after 28 days. The 25 cases had been on cART for a median (IQR) of 4.80 (1.04-8.56) years. Median (IQR) pre-HAART pVL was 4.63 (3.29; 5.03) log

respectively (P<.05 at 6-9 and 10-17 days in comparison with baseline). Plasma VL returned to undetectable levels
following reintroduction of cART in all cases Conclusions: pVL remained BDL or rebounded at a very low level of viremia in most HCV-HIV OLT recipients after
2-4 weeks off HAART, probably due to the reduction in the T-cell immune activation induced by OLT immunosuppressive therapy. PATIENTS & METHODS
