Simian Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Macaques Treated with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Have Reduced Central Nervous System Viral Replication and Inflammation but Persistence of Viral DNA

Abstract

These data, generated in a rigorous, high-viral-load SIV-infected macaque model, showed that HAART provided benefits with respect to CNS viral replication and inflammation but that no change in the level of viral DNA and continued CNS inflammation occurred in some macaques.
