Early ART vs standard or deferred ART (CD4 <= 200 or CD4 <= 250 cells/µl)

Death · patients with asymptomatic, HIV‐infected, treatment naive adults

Early ART probably leads to lower death compared with standard or deferred ART (CD4 <= 200 or CD4 <= 250 cells/µl) (moderate certainty).

Early ART vs delayed ART initiation

HIV virological suppression at 6 months (viral load < 400 copies/mL) · HIV‐positive people with cryptococcal meningitis

It is very uncertain whether early ART changes HIV virological suppression at 6 months (viral load < 400 copies/mL) compared with delayed ART initiation (very low certainty).
