HIV: Persistence through division
Abstract
A long-lived latent reservoir for HIV-1 persists in CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy and is the major barrier to cure. In this issue of JEM, Hosmane et al. show that T cell proliferation could explain the long-term persistence of this reservoir.
