15 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The intestinal mucosa contains many cells targeted by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and high levels of HIV-1 DNA persist in this compartment under antiretroviral therapy (ART). While CD4+ T cells are the best-characterized reservoir of HIV-1, the role of long-lived intestinal macrophages in HIV-1 persistence on ART remains controversial. METHODS: We collected duodenal and colonic...
