Viral Load Response to HIV Therapy for Entire Population and Patients with or without AE. The averaged VL responses to HAART throughout the entire study period were determined by lowess smooth curves fitted to all patients for all patients, as well as for those in whom a new AE occurred or did not occur. At each time point during the study, the VL reduction for patients in whom a new AE developed was much lower throughout the entire time period than for those in whom an AE did not occur.
