Ethical and practical considerations for mitigating risks to sexual partners during analytical treatment interruptions in HIV cure-related research [PDF]
Background Background: Analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs) in HIV cure-related research can result in trial participants becoming viremic with HIV, placing HIV-negative sexual partners at elevated risk of acquiring HIV.

Understanding participant perspectives around HIV-1 cure-related studies involving antiretroviral analytical treatment interruptions in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Background: To test efficacy, HIV cure-related trials often require a period of intensively monitored interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART) (analytical treatment interruption or ATI).

“We are looking at the future right now”: community acceptability of a home-based viral load test device in the context of HIV cure-related research with analytical treatment interruptions in the United States [PDF]
Background People with HIV (PWH) and community members have advocated for the development of a home-based viral load test device that could make analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs) less burdensome. Objective We assessed community acceptability of a

The impact of magnitude and duration of plasma viremia during analytical treatment interruptions on CD4+ T cell recovery after ART resumption [PDF]
Objective: Analytical treatment interruption (ATI) is crucial for assessing the efficacy of HIV-1 cure strategies. Recent cure studies have implemented more flexible ART restart criteria, permitting higher plasma viral loads (pVLs) for longer periods ...

‘It is scary to pause treatment’: perspectives on HIV cure-related research and analytical treatment interruptions from women diagnosed during acute HIV in Durban, South Africa: Socio-Behavioral research [PDF]
Background HIV remains a major challenge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, particularly for young women who face disproportionate risks and barriers to prevention and treatment. Most HIV cure trials, however, occur in high-income countries.

The impact of analytical treatment interruptions and trial interventions on time to viral re‐suppression in people living with HIV restarting ART in cure‐related clinical studies: a systematic review and meta‐analysis [PDF]
Introduction To assess the effectiveness of novel HIV curative strategies, “cure” trials require periods of closely monitored antiretroviral therapy (ART) analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs).
