Background. Some human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with low CD4 counts achieve viral suppression but not CD4 cell recovery. We aimed to identify (1) risk factors for failure to achieve CD4 count >200 cells/mu L after 3 years of sustained viral suppression and (2) the association of the achieved CD4 count with subsequent mortality.Methods. We included treated HIV-infected adults from 2 large international HIV cohorts, who had viral suppression (3 years with CD4 count 200 cells/mu L. Individuals with CD4 200 cells/mu L. The increased mortality was seen across different patient groups and for all causes of death.Conclusions. Virally suppressed HIV-positive individuals on cART who do not achieve a CD4 count >200 cells/mu L have substantially increased long-term mortality.
