Abstract: The efficacy of antiretroviral therapy in the first 1004 consecutive patients with AIDS and without previous antiretroviral therapy who were treated beginning in March 2003 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti are studied. This report documents the feasibility of effective antiretroviral therapy in a large number of patients in an impoverished country.
