Results of screening for seven aPLs in HIV-positive patients suggest that HAART also positively influences the autoimmune response represented by aPLs levels, but individual differences in aPLs levels were observed.

It seems that determination of aPLs only against cardiolipin in reproductive failure is not sufficient for obstetric-gynecology diagnosis as the primary anti-phospholipid syndrome. Our long-ranging study (from 1998 to 2003) shows the necessity to test for a complete aPLs profile. Sera from patients after two and more IVF procedures, and sera from women after three and more repeated abortions are immunologically more active than sera from women after one unsuccessful IVF and sera from women after diagnostic laparoscopy. This important result is very significant for future treatment.
