An HIV reservoir is a collection of HIV DNA in target cells in an HIV-infected person. HIV reservoir in patients with HIV infection prevents eradication of the pathogen and cure of the disease.

Neutralizing the HIV Reservoir [PDF]
Halper-Stromberg et al. use a humanized mouse model to demonstrate that broadly neutralizing antibodies, when administered with a combination of HIV latency activators, can reduce persistent HIV reservoirs, as measured by plasma virus rebound. Their results support the use of broadly neutralizing antibodies in HIV-reservoir-purging strategies.

Blood Center Testing Allows the Detection and Rapid Treatment of Acute and Recent HIV Infection
Blood donations in South Africa are tested for HIV RNA using individual donation NAT (ID-NAT), allowing detection and rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) of acute HIV infections.

Tissue reservoirs of HIV [PDF]
Tissue reservoirs of HIV may promote the persistent immunopathology responsible for non-AIDS morbidity and data support multifocal reactivation from tissues as the source of viral rebound during antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption. The heterogeneity of tissue reservoirs and incomplete knowledge about their composition are obstacles to an HIV cure.

CD32+CD4+ T Cells Are Highly Enriched for HIV DNA and Can Support Transcriptional Latency
Summary: The HIV latent reservoir forms the major hurdle to an HIV cure. The discovery of CD32 as marker of this reservoir has aroused much interest, but subsequent reports have challenged this finding. Here, we observe a positive correlation between the

Identification of CD98 as a Novel Biomarker for HIV-1 Permissiveness and Latent Infection
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can integrate viral DNA into host cell chromosomes to establish a long-term stable latent reservoir, which is a major obstacle to cure HIV-1 infection. The characteristics of the HIV-1 latent reservoir have not

CCL2: a Chemokine Potentially Promoting Early Seeding of the Latent HIV Reservoir
HIV infects long-lived CD4 memory T cells, establishing a latent viral reservoir that necessitates lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART). How this reservoir is formed so quickly after infection remains unclear.

Advances in Pediatric HIV-1 Cure Therapies and Reservoir Assays
Significant advances in the field of HIV-1 therapeutics to achieve antiretroviral treatment (ART)-free remission and cure for persons living with HIV-1 are being made with the advent of broadly neutralizing antibodies and very early ART in perinatal ...

HIV in the Brain: Identifying Viral Reservoirs and Addressing the Challenges of an HIV Cure
Advances in antiretroviral therapy have prolonged the life of people living with HIV and diminished the level of virus in these individuals. Yet, HIV quickly rebounds after disruption and/or cessation of treatment due to significant cellular and ...

Predicting Post-treatment HIV Remission: Does Size of the Viral Reservoir Matter?
Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and improves immune function. However, due to the persistence of long-lived HIV reservoirs, therapy interruption almost inevitably leads to a fast viral ...
