Netherlands Cohort Study on Acute HIV Infection
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Acute HIV Infection
In brief
Investigation of the size, variability and localization of the (pro) viral reservoir and the properties of HIV-specific immune response related to "post-treatment viral remission' achievement and / or duration. In addition we will study the factors that determine latency in the different host cells, their sensitivity to induction of replication competent virus by various agents and the potential application of these agents in "post-treatment viral remission". This all will be studied in patients included during acute phase of the infection who start antiretroviral therapy immediately upon diagnosis.
