Ongoing HIV replication in cerebrospinal fluid under successful monotherapy.
We report a case of an HIV-infected patient who was successfully treated with ritonavir/lopinavir (r/LPV) monotherapy for several years. He presented with neurological symptoms and high HIV RNA levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Sequencing of the HIV from the CSF revealed mutations in the protease gene reflecting resistance against most protease inhibitors, that is, lopinavir and ritonavir. H...
متن کاملPersistent HIV-1 replication during antiretroviral therapy
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review will highlight some of the recent findings regarding the capacity of HIV-1 to replicate during antiretroviral therapy (ART). RECENT FINDINGS Although ART is highly effective at inhibiting HIV replication, it is not curative. Several mechanisms contribute to HIV persistence during ART, including HIV latency, immune dysfunction, and perhaps persistent low-le...
متن کاملCell-associated viral burden provides evidence of ongoing viral replication in aviremic HIV-2-infected patients.
Viremia is significantly lower in HIV-2 than in HIV-1 infection, irrespective of disease stage. Nevertheless, the comparable proviral DNA burdens observed for these two infections indicate similar numbers of infected cells. Here we investigated this apparent paradox by assessing cell-associated viral replication. We found that untreated HIV-1-positive (HIV-1(+)) and HIV-2(+) individuals, matche...
متن کاملOngoing changes in HIV RNA levels during untreated HIV infection: implications for CD4 cell count depletion.
BACKGROUND Understanding of the interplay between plasma HIV RNA level and CD4 cell count depletion in untreated infection remains incomplete. METHODS We studied 1169 people with HIV seen for care at a major London clinic while naive to antiretroviral therapy. We considered pairs (n = 5940) of consecutive simultaneously measured CD4 cell count and plasma HIV RNA values from patients who had n...
متن کاملHIV-1 dynamics and coreceptor usage in Maraviroc-treated patients with ongoing replication.
There is evidence that HIV-1 evolution under maraviroc (MVC) pressure can lead to the selection of either X4-tropic variants and/or R5-tropic, MVC-resistant isolates. However, the viral dynamics of HIV-1 variants in patients with virological failure (VF) on MVC-containing regimens remain poorly studied. Here, we investigated the V3 loop evolution of HIV-1 on MVC in relation to coreceptor usage ...
