Summary

This study tested whether adding an extra HIV drug called enfuvirtide to standard therapy for 6 months helps people with very advanced HIV infection. The 195 participants had dangerously low CD4 counts (a measure of immune health) and had never taken HIV drugs before. The goal was to see if more patients could reach a safer CD4 level (above 200) after 24 weeks of treatment.
