DOIAbstract
Adipose tissue affects several aspects of the cellular immune system, but prior epidemiologic studies have differed on whether a higher body mass index (BMI) promotes CD4+ T-cell recovery on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The objective of this analysis was to assess the relationship between BMI at ART initiation and early changes in CD4 T-cell count
