Viral dynamics during structured treatment interruptions of chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection [PDF]
Although antiviral agents which block human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication can result in long-term suppression of viral loads to undetectable levels in plasma, long-term therapy fails to eradicate virus, which generally rebounds after a single ...

A comparison between abacavir and efavirenz as the third drug used in combination with a background therapy regimen of 2 nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors in patients with initially suppressed viral loads [PDF]
Background. Our objective was to compare the rate of viral rebound and therapy failure in patients receiving abacavir or efavirenz as the third drug ( in addition to 2 non-abacavir nucleosides) in combination antiretroviral therapy ( cART) and to compare

Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has been highly successful in controlling HIV replication, reducing viral burden, and preventing both progression to AIDS and viral transmission. Yet, ART alone cannot cure the infection.

Viral suppression and viral rebound among young adults living with HIV in Canada
Describe the prevalence and covariates of viral suppression and subsequent rebound among younger (≤29 years old) compared with older adults.A retrospective clinical cohort study; eligibility criteria: documented HIV infection; resident of Canada; 18 years and over; first antiretroviral regimen comprised of at least 3 individual agents on or after ...

Identifying correlates of viral rebound timing and viral control in SHIV-infected infant macaques after ART interruption. [PDF]
Evaluation of HIV cure strategies requires antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption, but ethical and clinical considerations make this difficult in children. Here, we used a pediatric preclinical model of simian-HIV (SHIV) infection to uncover features associated with time to viral rebound (TTR) and posttreatment control (PTC) of ...

A multidimensional HIV-1 persistence model for clonal expansion and viral rebound in vitro. [PDF]
Using a replication-competent virus for prolonged in vitro culture, Matsuda et al. captured the heterogenous HIV-1 genome and integration site landscape, examined viral cytopathic effects and clonal expansion capacity, and tested drugs that can eliminate HIV-1-infected cells.

Quantitative analysis of viral persistence and transient viral load rebound from HIV clinical data [PDF]
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) suppresses HIV RNA viral load below the limit of detection for many patients. However, clinical data demonstrates that the HIV virus is not eradicated by HAART, even in patients who have had no detectable virus for 7 years [1].

Potential biomarkers: Predicting post-treatment viral rebound in rhesus macaques
In this issue of Cell Reports Medicine, Aid and colleagues define peripheral blood biomarkers, which predict viral rebound after antiretroviral therapy (ART) discontinuation in SIV-infected rhesus macaques treated early with ART, providing insights into potential HIV cure strategies.1.

Background Viral suppression remains the most desired outcome in the management of patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and this can be achieved by an effective Antiretroviral Therapy (ART).
