The Distribution of HIV DNA and RNA in Cell Subsets Differs in Gut and Blood of HIV-Positive Patients on ART: Implications for Viral Persistence

TL;DR: Low levels of HIV DNA and RNA were observed in non-CD4+ T leukocytes at low levels, particularly in gut tissues, and future studies should determine whether different mechanisms allow HIV to persist in these distinct reservoirs, and the degree to which different therapies can affect each reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulating the RIG-I pathway to kill cells in the latent HIV reservoir following viral reactivation

TL;DR: It is shown that acitretin, an RA derivative approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, enhances RIG-I signaling ex vivo, increases HIV transcription, and induces preferential apoptosis of HIV-infected cells, which is abrogated by DDX58 knockdown.
