Pilot study of a combination of highly active antiretroviral therapy and cytokines to induce HIV-1 remission

Article Abstract:

Giving HIV patients highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), interleukin, and gamma-interferon inhibits viral reproduction and boosts the immune system but does not necessarily completely eliminate the virus from the body. This was the conclusion of a study of 10 HIV patients who received this aggressive treatment.

HIV-1 induction-maintenance at the lymph node level: the "Apollo-97" study

Article Abstract:

The authors report on a test to determine if treatment of HIV-infected patients beginning with a combination of five drugs would be more effective in reducing viral load in the lymph nodes than the triple-drug therapy currently in use. Tests showed it was no more effective than using three drugs alone. The reason that high viral loads remain in the lymphoid tissue does not seem to be attributable to lack of drug potency.

French National sentinel survey of antiretroviral drug resistance in patients with HIV-1 primary infection and in antiretroviral-naive chronically infected patients in 2001-2002

Article Abstract:

The frequency of genotypic antiretroviral resistance and the spread of non-B subtypes in patients with primary HIV-1 infection (2001-02) and in treatment-naive chronically HIV-infected patients (2001) are studied. While, the frequency of HIV-1 resistance in untreated patients was not significantly higher in 2001-2002, the prevalence of non-B subtypes is increasing.
