A New Type of Nonsuppressible Viremia Produced by HIV-Infected Macrophage Open
Background HIV-1 RNA typically declines rapidly after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART); often reaching undetectable levels within a few weeks and remaining undetectable by standard assays. However, some patients on ART have persi…

2073. Persistent HIV-1 Viremia Despite Intensive Antiviral Therapy Due to Non-responsive Clonal Viral Lineages Open
Background After initiation of antiviral therapy (ART), plasma HIV-1 RNA is usually undetectable after one month. In rare cases, viral suppression may not be achieved despite good adherence and with virus susceptible to ART. We used ultra-…

Frequent nevirapine resistance in infants infected by HIV-1 via breastfeeding while on nevirapine prophylaxis Open
Assess nevirapine (NVP) resistance in infants who became infected in the three arms of the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutrition (BAN) study: daily infant NVP prophylaxis, triple maternal antiretrovirals (ARV), or no extra interven…
