TL;DR: A majority of perinatally HIV-infected older children without HAART remain clinically stable in the short term, but have demonstrable immunologic abnormalities indicative of defects in the innate immune system.

TL;DR: The present study evaluated vaccine-induced antiviral responses and TSCM cells in volunteers vaccinated with a subtype C prophylactic HIV-1 vaccine candidate administered in a prime-boost regimen and found that ADVAX DNA prime followed by MVA boost induced significantly more peripheral CD8+ T SCM cells and higher levels of CD8- T cell-mediated inhibition of replication of different HIV- 1 clades as compared to MVA alone and placebo.

TL;DR: A case of immune reconstitution syndrome in response to antiretroviral therapy in a HIV-positive patient on antituberculosis therapy for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is reported.
