Chimpanzee Reservoirs of Pandemic and Nonpandemic HIV-1 [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2006
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the cause of human acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a zoonotic infection of staggering proportions and social impact. Yet uncertainty persists regarding its natural reservoir.

Emerging PCR-Based Techniques to Study HIV-1 Reservoir Persistence

open access: yesViruses, 2020
While current antiretroviral therapies are able to halt HIV-1 progression, they are not curative, as an interruption of treatment usually leads to viral rebound.

Hybrid Spreading Mechanisms and T Cell Activation Shape the Dynamics of HIV-1 Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
HIV-1 can disseminate between susceptible cells by two mechanisms: cell-free infection following fluid-phase diffusion of virions and by highly-efficient direct cell-to-cell transmission at immune cell contacts.

Unintegrated HIV-1 provides an inducible and functional reservoir in untreated and highly active antiretroviral therapy-treated patients

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2007
Background The presence of HIV-1 preintegration reservoir was assessed in an in vitro experimental model of latent HIV-1 infection, and in patients treated or not with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Induction of Autophagy to Achieve a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Cure

open access: yesCells, 2021
Effective antiretroviral therapy has led to significant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) suppression and improvement in immune function. However, the persistence of integrated proviral DNA in latently infected reservoir cells, which drive ...

Characterisation of the HIV-1 reservoir and the potential for viral eradication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The HIV-1 reservoir is the major barrier to eradication and cure of HIV-1 infection. The aim of this thesis was to characterise the HIV-1 reservoir in PHI and to investigate two potential reservoir clearance strategies.

Cervicovaginal HIV-1 shedding in women taking antiretroviral therapy in Burkina Faso: a longitudinal study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces transmission of HIV-1. However, genital HIV-1 can be detected in patients on ART. We analyzed factors associated with genital HIV-1 shedding among high-risk women on ART in Burkina Faso.

Plasma HIV viral rebound following protocol-indicated cessation of ART commenced in primary and chronic HIV infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
OBJECTIVES: The magnitude of HIV viral rebound following ART cessation has consequences for clinical outcome and onward transmission. We compared plasma viral load (pVL) rebound after stopping ART initiated in primary (PHI) and chronic HIV infection (CHI)

HIV-1 infection and the central nervous system: investigating markers of neural activation and measures of HIV-1 reservoir

open access: yes, 2021
Despite successful antiretroviral therapy (ART), mild cognitive impairments remain prevalent amongst people-living-with-HIV (PLWH). However, the underlying mechanisms driving this remain unclear.

B Lymphocytes, but Not Dendritic Cells, Efficiently HIV-1 Trans Infect Naive CD4 + T Cells: Implications for the Viral Reservoir

open access: yesmBio, 2021
The latent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reservoir in persons on antiretroviral therapy (ART) represents a major barrier to a cure. Although most studies have focused on the HIV-1 reservoir in the memory T cell subset, replication-competent
