HIV DNA and transcription before and after ART in natural controllers compared to noncontrollers

ABSTRACT HIV-1 natural controllers can limit plasma HIV RNA levels in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although controllers have less HIV DNA, it remains unclear how HIV transcription differs from noncontrollers, and whether ART further reduces HIV DNA or RNA in controllers. To address these questions, we q...
