The expert report prepared for the Infected Blood Inquiry stated that if antiretroviral therapy (ART) is initiated early enough life expectancy approaches that of the general population and normalisation of T4/T8 ratio appears mostly only achievable upon early ART initiation and has been associated with a lower risk for non-AIDS-defining events.
