Objectives. To examine trajectories of CD8(+) T-cell counts before and after combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals and associations with mortality. Methods.aEuro integral CD8(+) T-cell counts were measured in 3882 HIV-infected individuals who received care in Copenhagen during 1995-2012. Reference values were obtained from 1230 persons from the background population. Mortality rate ratios were estimated by Poisson regression. Results.aEuro integral CD8(+) T-cell counts were elevated during untreated HIV infection and remained elevated through 10 years of cART. A slight drop of 130 cells/A mu L (interquartile range, -160 to 410 cells/mu L) in the median CD8(+) T-cell count was observed after cART initiation. CD8(+) T-cell counts stabilized at approximately 900 cells/A mu L (95th percentile of the background population, 835 cells/A mu L). Markedly elevated CD8(+) T-cell counts at cART initiation were associated with a poor increase in the CD4(+) T-cell count (relative risk, 2.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42-3.48). Individuals with a CD8(+) T-cell count of < 500 cells/A mu L 1 year after cART initiation had an increased mortality rate (mortality rate ratio, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.29-2.32) and a higher proportion of deaths attributable to AIDS-related conditions, compared with individuals with CD8(+) T-cell counts of a parts per thousand yen500 cells/A mu L. After receiving cART for 10 years, a CD8(+) T-cell count of > 1500 cells/A mu L was associated with increased non-AIDS-related mortality (mortality rate ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.09-3.22), compared with a CD4(+) T-cell count of 500-1500 cells/A mu L. Conclusions.aEuro integral CD8(+) T-cell counts are elevated during HIV infection and do not normalize despite long-term cART. Low CD8(+) T-cell counts are associated with increased AIDS-related mortality. Marked elevations in CD8(+) T-cell counts after long-term cART are associated with increased non-AIDS-related mortality.
