Reliable information on clinical immunophenotypic biomarkers is critical in the management of Hepatitis B and C infections especially in ART naive HIV positive adults. CD4 cell counts and the level of liver function bio-molecules can be monitored to assess the body status and treatment response to interventions. This was a cross sectional laboratory investigation study aimed at investigating the immunological phenotypes in HIV positive adults from Kisumu West Sub-county, so that overall patient care, participation of individuals in clinical trials and evaluation of adverse events can be improved.

The study underscores the need for monitoring... view moreĀ»
