Containing HIV after infection

Article Abstract:

Highly active antiviral therapy augments the immunity of the thymus cells thereby able to handle better any subsequent HIV viral infection. Results show that such an immunization approach in the early stages of an infection may help contain virus infection as well.

Viremia control following antiretroviral treatment and therapeutic immunization during primary SIV(sub)251 infection of macaques

Article Abstract:

Research demonstrates that therapeutic immunization can be an alternative to the antiretroviral therapy in arresting the retrovirus replication. Macaques monkeys innoculated with an highly attenuated poxvirus-based vaccine exhibit only transient viral rebound as against full viral rebound in monkeys from whom the antiretroviral therapy was withheld for six-months.

Less is more? STI in acute and chronic HIV-1 infection

Article Abstract:

Emerging data has indicted that supervised treatment interruption (STI) of highly active therapy might significantly augment immune responses in HIV-1 infected patients and slow disease progression. The rationale behind STI and its future directions are discussed.
