First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving interleukin-2 (IL-2) injections to HIV patients who had never taken antiretroviral drugs could help keep their CD4 cell counts high and delay the need for standard HIV therapy. The trial enrolled 130 adults with CD4 counts between 300 and 500. Researchers measured how many patients saw their CD4 count drop below 300 over 96 weeks. The goal was to see if IL-2 could control the disease without lifelong medication.
