Defining total-body AIDS-virus burden with implications for curative strategies

Abstract

Quantifying the total-body virus burden in HIV-infected individuals is necessary to understand viral persistence and guide development of cure strategies. Here, Estes et al. find a high burden of residual virus in tissues of SIV-infected monkeys and HIV-infected humans, and evidence of low-level viral replication, even under antiretroviral therapy.
