Elite controllers are HIV-1 positive subjects who control viral replication without antiretroviral
therapy. Many of these subjects have replication-competent virus and thus represent a …

In this brief review and perspective, we address the question of whether the immune
responses that bring about immune control of acute HIV infection are the same as, or distinct …

We propose implications as to how this knowledge from natural infection can be applied in
the design and evaluation of CD8+ T-cell-based remission strategies and offer questions to …

HIV-exposed seronegative individuals (HESIs) are a small fraction of persons who are
multiply exposed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but do not exhibit serological or …

Background In-depth analysis of the HIV pandemic at its epicenter in the Congo basin has
been hampered by 40 years of political unrest and lack of functional public health …

Background Elite controllers are able to control viral replication without antiretroviral therapy.
Exceptional elite controllers do not show disease progression for more than 25 years …

Curing HIV will require eliminating the reservoir of integrated, replication-competent
proviruses that persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Understanding the burden …

The interaction of HIV-1, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), and elite controllers (EC) compose
a still intricate triad. Elite controllers maintain a very low viral load and a normal CD4 count …

Quantile regression offers an invaluable tool to discern effects that would be missed by other
conventional regression models, which are solely based on modeling conditional mean …

HIV-infected individuals who maintain control of virus without antiretroviral therapy (ART) are
called HIV controllers. The immune responses of these individuals suppress HIV viral …
