Decreasing incidence of herpes zoster in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects. The annual incidence of HZ per 100 person-years decreased significantly from 6.3 episodes in 1987 to 1.0 episode in 2011, probably reflecting improved immune function.
