Analysis of the effect of HDAC inhibitors on the formation of the HIV reservoir [PDF]
The HIV reservoir is more dynamic than previously thought with around 70% of the latent reservoir originating from viruses circulating within 1 year of the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Impact of the initial administration of an antiretroviral drug with latency reversal properties on the HIV reservoir size [PDF]
The elimination of the latent viral reservoir remains the main barrier in the quest for a cure for people with HIV (PWH). The administration of latency reversal agents (LRA) at antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation could improve the effectiveness of ...

Dynamics of HIV DNA reservoir seeding in a cohort of superinfected Kenyan women. [PDF]
A reservoir of HIV-infected cells that persists despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the source of viral rebound upon ART cessation and the major barrier to a cure.

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.

The HIV-1 latent reservoir is largely sensitive to circulating T cells
HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells are an important component of HIV-1 curative strategies. Viral variants in the HIV-1 reservoir may limit the capacity of T cells to detect and clear virus-infected cells.

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.
