Long-term nonprogressors and elite controllers in the ANRS CO5 HIV-2 cohort
Abstract
Among 342 HIV-2-infected patients of the ANRS CO5 HIV-2 cohort, the prevalence of long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) (i.e. asymptomatic for at least 8 years while maintaining CD4 cell count at least 500 cells/μl) and of HIV controllers (i.e. controlling HIV replication in the absence of antiretroviral treatment for at least 10 years) was 6.1% (95% confidence interval 3.9-9.1) and 9.1% (6.3-12.7), respectively. Most LTNPs (81%) were HIV controllers, whereas only 55% of HIV controllers were LTNPs.
