Laboratory tests that may predict a patient's clinical outcome or indicate whether a drug is effective without having to rely on the traditional clinical endpoints of death or development of a major opportunistic infection. Surrogate markers under study in HIV disease include CD4 counts, CD4/CD8 cell ratios, and viral load.

| surfactant |
a detergent secreted by Type 2 alveolar cells between alveolar epithelium. Functions to lower surface tension, allowing lungs to remain inflated. Note: In humans, these cells and their secretion develop towards the very end of the third trimester, just before birth. Hence the respiratory difficulties associated with premature births. (More?

Something that indirectly reflects the patient's current clinical condition. For example, the number of T cells tells us something about how much damage HIV has done, but it is not a direct measure of how much virus is present.
