    Abstract:
    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) might be influencing the development of wasting in the era of potent antiretroviral therapy. In a retrospective study of 57 subjects, HIV proviral DNA levels in PBMCs were higher in subjects whose body weight decreased by >5% one year after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy, compared with subjects whose body weight was stable or increased (median HIV proviral DNA load, 8.9 vs. 0.9 copies/10(6) PBMCs; P = .006).
