Slide 46 of 48 Author Conclusions In suppressed HIV-infected adult patients on ART, secondary TE prophylaxis can be safely discontinued in patients with CD4 cell counts > cells/mm3 However, in patients with detectable HIV RNA the risk of relapse may be substantial, even if the CD4 cell count is> cells/mm3 and prophylaxis should be maintained Secondary TE prophylaxis should not be stopped in virologically suppressed patients on ART with CD4 cell counts of 1- Slide 47 of 48 14

15 Bottom Line Stopping prophylaxis for any OI has some risk The risk for stopping prophylaxis at CD4 1- cells/ul and VL <5 PCP: Reasonable risk Toxoplasma: Higher risk Slide 48 of 48 15
