TLDR
Initiation of antiretroviral therapy in the first 2 weeks of HIV infection fails to prevent resurgence of virus after stopping treatment, indicating early establishment of a resilient viral reservoir.
Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy during the earliest stage of acute HIV infection (Fiebig I) might minimize establishment of a latent HIV reservoir and thereby facilitate viremic control after analytical treatment interruption. We show that 8 participants, who initiated treatment during Fiebig I and were treated for a median of 2.8 years, all experienced rapid viral load rebound following analytical treatment interruption, indicating that additional strategies are required to control or eradicate HIV.

Single-cell characterization and quantification of translation-competent viral reservoirs in treated and untreated HIV infection

TL;DR: A simple flow cytometry-based assay to quantify and characterize infected cells producing HIV proteins during untreated and treated HIV infection highlights a broad diversity in the phenotypes of HIV-infected cells in treated and untreated infection and suggests that strategies targeting multiple and phenotypically distinct cellular reservoirs will be needed to exert a significant impact on the size of the reservoir.

The Biology of the HIV-1 Latent Reservoir and Implications for Cure Strategies.

TL;DR: The mechanisms thought to contribute to HIV persistence during treatment are described and findings from numerous recent studies describing the importance of cell proliferation in that process are highlighted.

Phenotypic Analysis of Antigen-Specific T Lymphocytes

TL;DR: Tetramers of human lymphocyte antigen A2 that were complexed with two different human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-derived peptides or with a peptide derived from influenza A matrix protein bound to peptide-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro and to T cells from the blood of HIV-infected individuals and correlated well with cytotoxicity assays.

Identification of a Reservoir for HIV-1 in Patients on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

TL;DR: In a study of 22 patients successfully treated with HAART for up to 30 months, replication-competent virus was routinely recovered from resting CD4+ T lymphocytes, and generally did not show mutations associated with resistance to the relevant antiretroviral drugs.

Presence of an inducible HIV-1 latent reservoir during highly active antiretroviral therapy

TL;DR: Highly purified CD4+ T cells from patients receiving HAART with an average treatment time of 10 months and with undetectable plasma viremia carried integrated proviral DNA and were capable of producing infectious virus upon cellular activation in vitro, suggesting persistent active virus replication in vivo.

Dynamics of HIV viremia and antibody seroconversion in plasma donors: implications for diagnosis and staging of primary HIV infection

TL;DR: The sequential emergence of assay reactivity allows the classification of primary HIV-1 infection into distinct laboratory stages, which may facilitate the diagnosis of recent infection and stratification of patients enrolled in clinical trials.
