The latent reservoir of inducible, infectious HIV-1 does not decrease despite decades of antiretroviral therapy

NF McMyn, J Varriale, EJ Fray… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Am Soc Clin Investig
HIV-1 persists in a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy

Combination therapy with anti-HIV-1 antibodies maintains viral suppression

P Mendoza, H Gruell, L Nogueira, JA Pai, AL Butler… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Individuals infected with HIV-1 require lifelong antiretroviral therapy, because interruption of
treatment leads to rapid rebound viraemia. Here we report on a phase 1b clinical trial in …

Single-cell characterization and quantification of translation-competent viral reservoirs in treated and untreated HIV infection

M Pardons, AE Baxter, M Massanella… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
The phenotypic characterization of the cells in which HIV persists during antiretroviral
therapy (ART) remains technically challenging. We developed a simple flow cytometry …

The replication-competent HIV-1 latent reservoir is primarily established near the time of therapy initiation

MR Abrahams, SB Joseph, N Garrett, L Tyers… - Science translational …, 2019 - science.org
Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly effective at suppressing HIV-1 replication, the
virus persists as a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells during therapy. This reservoir …

Recommendations for analytical antiretroviral treatment interruptions in HIV research trials—report of a consensus meeting

Analytical antiretroviral treatment interruption (ATI) is an important feature of HIV research,
seeking to achieve sustained viral suppression in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) …

In vivo dynamics of the latent reservoir for HIV-1: new insights and implications for cure

JD Siliciano, RF Siliciano - Annual Review of Pathology …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce viremia to below the limit of detection and
allow persons living with HIV-1 (PLWH) to lead relatively normal lives, viremia rebounds …
