Understanding what shapes the latent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reservoir is critical for developing strategies for cure. We measured frequency of persistent HIV-1 infection after 5 years of suppressive antiretroviral therapy initiated during chronic infection. Pretreatment CD8+ T-cell activation, nadir CD4 count, and CD4:CD8 ratio predicted reservoir size.
了解哪些因素影响潜伏的人类免疫缺陷病毒 1 型(HIV-1)储存库,对于开发治愈策略至关重要。我们测量了慢性感染期间开始进行抑制性抗逆转录病毒治疗 5 年后持续性 HIV-1 感染的频率。治疗前 CD8+T 细胞激活、CD4 计数最低点和 CD4:CD8 比值可预测储存库大小。
