The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of CCR5/delta32-CCR5 genotype in long-term slow progressors using plasma viral load as a marker of disease progression. DESIGN: We analyzed 70 long-term slow progressors (diagnosis > 8 years previously; CD4 count > 500/microl; asymptomatic, never received...
