: The impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the size of the HIV reservoir has implications for virological remission in adults, but is not well characterized in perinatally acquired infection. In a prospective observational study of 20 children with perinatally acquired infection and sustained viral suppression on ART for more than 5 years, proviral DNA was significantly higher in deferred (>4 years) versus early (first year of life) ART recipients (P = 0.0062), and correlated with age of initiation (P = 0.13; r = 0.57). No difference was seen in cell-associated viral RNA (P = 0.36). Identifying paediatric populations with smaller reservoirs may inform strategies with potential to induce ART-free remission.
抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）对HIV储存库大小的影响关乎成人的病毒学缓解，但在围产期获得性感染中的特征尚不明确。在一项针对20名围产期获得性感染儿童的前瞻性观察研究中，这些儿童接受ART治疗超过5年且病毒持续受到抑制，延迟（>4年）接受ART治疗的儿童与早期（生命第一年）接受ART治疗的儿童相比，前病毒DNA显著更高（P = 0.0062），且与开始治疗的年龄相关（P = 0.13；r = 0.57）。细胞相关病毒RNA未见差异（P = 0.36）。识别储存库较小的儿科人群可能为诱导无ART缓解的潜在策略提供依据。
