On the other hand, in 15 ARC-shifting cases belonging to HIV, and HIV/HBV groups, respectively, a second serum sample was collected and searched comparatively with the corresponding first serum sample, as regarded: presence of total and anti-p24 HIV antibodies, patterns of Western Blot (WB), as well as amounts of free p24-HIV antigen. In asymptomatic double HIV/HBV infected subjects, some immune disorders occurred, at a more significant degree, as compared to only HIV-infected. Once the shift toward ARC being installed, in both infected groups a decrease of anti-p24 HIV antibody presence, disappearance of corresponding band in WB confirmation test, as well as presence of free p24 antigen in serum, were noticed.
