The Role of Naive T-Cells in HIV Pathogenesis

NCT00206531 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Last updated 2006-10-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

While HIV mainly infects mature T-cells it can also infect newly produced (or naïve) T-cells. These infected naïve T cells may then act a viral reservoir even in patients with undetectable viral loads. Understanding when and how these cells are infected is important because it could help us to understand why patients fail therapy even if they have a persistently undetectable viral load.
