Cumulative number of tests by laboratory category across time since combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) initiation, CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems, between 2000 and 2010. *

*Bold horizontal lines represent range for expected number of laboratory tests based on 2010 DHHS guidelines at 1 year and at 2 years. These ranges were calculated by taking the recommended frequency of testing and calculating the minimum and maximum number of tests recommended during the time interval. For example, the minimum for hematologic, hepatic, and renal tests at one year was calculated as one test for 8 weeks post-cART initiation and one test 6 months later for a total for a total of 2 tests. Similarly, the maximum was calculated as one test 2 weeks post-cART and then one test for each 3 month interval thereafter, totaling 4 tests within the first year.
