Objective: To determine whether long-term HAART in chronic HIV-1 infection restores fully functional Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-specific CD4 T-cell responses.Design: A cross-sectional study of HIV-1-seropositive subjects on continuous HAART for over one year with CD4 cell counts greater than 300 cells/mu l and undetectable viraemia, antiretroviral-naive individuals with primary HIV-1 infection (PHI), and healthy bacillus Calmette-Guerin-vaccinated low-risk controls.Methods: Purified protein derivative (PPD)-specific cytokine-secreting CD4 T cells were quantified ex vivo by enzyme-linked immunospot assay and intracellular cytokine staining. Lymphoproliferation was detected by [H-3]-thymidine incorporation.Results: PPD-specific IFN-gamma-secreting CD4 T cells were markedly reduced in chronic HAART-treated HIV-1-positive and PHI subjects compared with healthy controls [medians 30, 155 and 582 spot-forming cells/million peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), respectively, P
