Duration of antiretroviral therapy impacts the degree of residual SIV infection in the gut in long‐term non‐progressing Chinese rhesus macaques

The gut is a major reservoir in HIV‐infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and in long‐term non‐progressors (LTNPs). Whether ART reduces gut infection and reservoirs in LTNPs is unknown. Herein, SIV‐infected LTNP Rhesus macaques were treated with short‐ or long‐term ART, and SIV envelo...

Zusammenfassung:The gut is a major reservoir in HIV‐infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and in long‐term non‐progressors (LTNPs). Whether ART reduces gut infection and reservoirs in LTNPs is unknown. Herein, SIV‐infected LTNP Rhesus macaques were treated with short‐ or long‐term ART, and SIV envelope gp120 sequences obtained from single genome amplification were analyzed before and after ART in peripheral blood and the intestine. Although ART does not eliminate SIV in these LTNPs, a longer ART period dramatically reduces SIV infection in the gut. This study highlights the importance of long‐term ART in LTNPs to minimize gut infection and prolong remission.
