The 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) represents a forum that encompasses all facets of research on HIV/AIDS and its complications. CROI is a valuable venue for scientific and public health researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and community representatives to be updated on the latest advances in their specific areas of interest and beyond. CROI 2015 continued to surprise. New insights into the viral reservoirs that persist in the face of antiretroviral therapy were prominently featured, as were therapeutic approaches aimed at curtailing and eliminating persistent viral reservoirs in HIV-infected individuals. Basic science is providing surrogates that could be valuable in how viral reservoirs are measured and, ultimately, in how to gauge if they are being effectively eliminated.
2015年逆转录病毒与机会性感染会议(CROI)是一个涵盖了HIV/AIDS及其并发症研究各个方面的论坛。对于科学和公共卫生研究人员、临床医生、政策制定者以及社区代表而言,CROI是一个宝贵的场所,能让他们及时了解各自感兴趣领域及其他领域的最新进展。2015年CROI会议持续带来惊喜。对抗逆转录病毒治疗后仍持续存在的病毒储存库有了新的见解,同时还展示了旨在减少和消除HIV感染者体内持续存在的病毒储存库的治疗方法。基础科学正在提供一些替代指标,这些指标对于测量病毒储存库可能很有价值,最终对于判断它们是否被有效清除也很有价值。
