Purpose of review: The known timing of HIV infection in perinatal transmission, combined with the capacity for early antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and immune reconstitution, can provide...
Abstract: Elevated soluble CD14 (sCD14) concentrations, a marker of monocyte activation, predicts adverse outcomes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected adults. To examine the...
BACKGROUND: The decay of HIV-1-infected cells during early combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in infected infants is not defined. METHODS: HIV-1 DNA, including 2-LTR circles, and...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine whether detection of HIV infection was delayed in infants exposed to antiretroviral prophylaxis to prevent HIV transmission during...
We previously reported the remission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in a perinatally infected child — the “Mississippi Child.” After receiving antiretroviral...
Purpose of review: A single case of sustained HIV control in the absence of antiretroviral therapy or HIV-specific immune responses ensued following 18 months of combination antiretroviral therapy...
IMPORTANCE: Combination antiretroviral therapy initiated within several weeks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in adults limits proviral reservoirs that preclude HIV cure. Biomarkers...
International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials P1097 was a multicenter trial to determine washout pharmacokinetics and safety of in utero/intrapartum exposure to raltegravir in...
Recent advances in genotyping technologies have allowed for detection of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations present at low levels. The presence and percentage of Y181C and K103N drug-resistant variants...
The news that the Mississippi child previously in sustained viral remission now has detectable HIV1 is profoundly disappointing. We write to clarify that research on the use of very early...
