The Stages of HIV Infection | NIH
Aug 20, 2021 · The second stage of HIV infection is chronic HIV infection (also called asymptomatic HIV infection or clinical latency). During this stage, HIV continues to multiply in the body but at very low levels. People with chronic HIV …
Understanding HIV Latency: The Road to an HIV Cure - PMC
The studies highlighted in this review indicate that many redundant factors, both cellular and viral, contribute to establishing, maintaining, and reactivating latent HIV. The emerging picture is that HIV latency is multifactorial, a circumstance likely to complicate the identification of small molecules that reactivate all latent HIV.
What is a Latent HIV Reservoir? | NIH - HIVinfo
May 14, 2024 · A latent HIV reservoir is a group of immune system cells in the body that are infected with HIV but are not actively producing new HIV virus particles. Finding ways to target and either destroy or silence latent reservoirs is a major challenge facing HIV researchers who are exploring different strategies for curing HIV infection.
A Timeline of HIV Symptoms: How Does It Progress? - Healthline
Feb 14, 2023 · According to HIV.gov, latency in HIV infection can last up to 10 or 15 years. This means that the virus is replicating much slower than before.
HIV timeline: What are the stages? - Medical News Today
Sep 12, 2023 · Stage 1: Acute HIV infection. After a person comes into contact with HIV, the virus replicates quickly, and the blood contains high levels of the virus. At this time, the virus can easily...
HIV latency - Wikipedia
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has the capability to enter a latent stage of infection where it exists as a dormant provirus in CD4+ T-cells. Most latently infected cells are resting memory T cells, [1] however a small fraction of latently infected cells isolated from HIV patients are naive CD4 T cells. [2] Molecular Control of HIV Latency.

Jul 27, 2024 · This activity comprehensively reviews HIV transmission, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, evaluation, up-to-date treatment, reporting, and implementation considerations for specific population groups to prevent the diagnosis of AIDS.
HIV Latency - PMC
HIV-1 can establish a state of latent infection at the level of individual T cells. Latently infected cells are rare in vivo and appear to arise when activated CD4+ T cells, the major targets cells for HIV-1, become infected and survive long enough ...
Establishment of latent HIV-1 reservoirs: what do we really know?
Jan 1, 2019 · Abstract. Despite our ability to suppress HIV-1 replication indefinitely in people on optimal combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), HIV-1 persists as a stably integrated and replication-competent provirus in a heterogeneous collection of long-lived cells (often referred to as ‘latent reservoirs’) in all individuals on treatment.
Insights into the HIV-1 Latent Reservoir and Strategies to Cure HIV …
May 31, 2022 · Nowadays, a number of evidence has pointed out that the risk of recurrence is related to the latent reservoir (LR) of HIV-1, also known as HIV latency, which is a pool of resting CD4+ T cells infected with replication-competent proviruses in patients treated with ART.
