Journal ArticleDOI

HIV controllers exhibit potent CD8 T cell capacity to suppress HIV infection ex vivo and peculiar cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation phenotype.

TL;DR: Although CD4+ T cells from HIC were fully susceptible to HIV-1 superinfection, their CD8- T cells effectively suppressed HIV- 1 infection, indicating an HLA-restricted cytotoxic mechanism that could account for the control of viral replication in HIC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time from HIV-1 seroconversion to AIDS and death before widespread use of highly-active antiretroviral therapy: a collaborative re-analysis

TL;DR: Before widespread use of highly-active antiretroviral therapy (before 1996), time since seroconversion and age at serconversion were the major determinants of survival and development of AIDS in Europe, North America, and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in the risk of death after HIV seroconversion compared with mortality in the general population.

TL;DR: In industrialized countries, persons infected sexually with HIV now appear to experience mortality rates similar to those of the general population in the first 5 years following infection, though a mortality excess remains as duration of HIV infection lengthens.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV controllers: a homogeneous group of HIV-1-infected patients with spontaneous control of viral replication.

TL;DR: 15 patients who have maintained undetectable plasma HIV RNA loads without antiretroviral treatment for >10 years are identified, characterized by a low HIV DNA load in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and by a strong HIV-specific immune response.
