We assessed the effect of antiviral therapy on serum human immunodeficiency virus core antigen (HIV-Ag) levels in patients enrolled in the phase II trial on zidovudine for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex. Human immunodeficiency virus core antigen was detected in 45% of subjects at entry (59% with AIDS and 37% of patients with AIDS-related complex). Median HIV-Ag levels in zidovudine-treated subjects fell from 111 pg/mL at entry to 46 pg/mL at four weeks, while levels in placebo recipients did not change significantly. Decline in HIV-Ag in zidovudine recipients was sustained through 16 weeks of treatment and was significantly different from the placebo group. Anti-p24 antibody levels did not change in either group. We conclude that in patients with HIV-antigenemia changes in HIV-Ag level are an important marker of anti-retroviral activity.
