After a median of 37 months on antiretroviral therapy, 16 patients were asked to discontinue treatment instead of changing it. After a median observation time of 10.5 months, most patients experienced a rapid and progressive decrease in their CD4 cell count, even without a high viral load rebound. This decline was unrelated to the CD4 cell count and HIV-RNA values at interruption, but was more profound in patients in whom the M184V mutation had disappeared after lamivudine discontinuation.
