Altered T‐cell subset distribution in the viral reservoir in HIV‐1‐infected individuals with extremely low proviral DNA (LoViReTs)

Abstract

In conclusion, LoViReTs are characterized by low levels of viral reservoir in peripheral blood and secondary lymphoid tissues, which might be explained by an altered distribution of the proviral HIV-DNA towards more short-lived memory T cells. LoViReTs can be considered exceptional candidates for future interventions aimed at curing HIV.
