dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to ascertain how the current two ART regimens used in Ghana affected HIV patients’ coagulation profiles. A case-control study was conducted on 102 HIV positive patients at the Mampong Municipal Hospital. Coagulation parameters measured showed APTT was normal in majority of ART-experienced participants but prolonged in majority of ART-naïve participants. The mean platelet count was significantly higher in ART-experienced participants. No significant differences were found between the coagulation profiles of ART-experienced patients on two different drug regimens. In conclusion, current ART can enhance the coagulation profiles in HIV-infected patients, by improving platelet count and APTT.
