  HIV/AIDS symptoms, treatment efficacy and type of treatments differ from one region/country to another. In this article, we discuss and analyze American Midwest patients HIV/AIDS laboratory data. A total of 9,392 patient’s visits for 2,588 patients have been considered. The efficacy of different treatments, in terms of reducing the Ribonucleic acid (RNA), and/or increasing the CD4 counts, has been analyzed. We provide data summary graphs that help to identify important patterns embedded in patient’s reactions to different therapies. We provide statistical evidence regarding treatment tolerance (in terms of the number of consecutive times a given treatment can be used on a considered patient) and most effective treatments (in terms of the rate of change in CD4 and RNA levels). We avoided using genetic sequences, to help understand the treatment efficacy, based solely on bas.. View More»
