Consequences of stopping antiretroviral treatment in a persistently seronegative individual infected with HIV-1

Marc Wirden et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

This case of HIV-1-seronegative infection due to very early treatment demonstrates that even in the absence of sufficient HIV replication to generate detectable immunity, a competent reservoir can accumulate, allowing replication to resume despite 20 months of effective treatment and the disappearance of molecular evidence of infection.

Keywords: HIV; acute infection; diagnostics; seronegative.
