Replication-Competent Noninduced Proviruses in the Latent Reservoir Increase Barrier to HIV-1 Cure

TL;DR: The identification of replication-competent noninduced proviruses indicates that the size of the latent reservoir-and, hence, the barrier to cure-may be up to 60-fold greater than previously estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-step inhibition explains HIV-1 protease inhibitor pharmacodynamics and resistance.

TL;DR: It is found that PIs do not affect virion release from infected cells but block entry, reverse transcription, and post-reverse transcription steps, showing that independent inhibition of multiple distinct steps in the life cycle generates the highly cooperative dose-response curves that make these drugs uniquely effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mechanistic theory to explain the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy.

TL;DR: A fundamental theory is proposed to explain the mechanistic basis of cART and why it works so well, including a model to assess and predict the efficacy of antiretroviral drugs alone or in combination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-evaluating evolution in the HIV reservoir

TL;DR: It is argued that ref. 7 does not provide evidence that ongoing replication is an additional barrier to a cure for treated individuals who consistently maintain low viral loads, and that the decay of labile populations may produce false signals of evolution during treatment, even in the absence of viral replication.
