Brief Summary
HIV-1 cannot be eradicated from infected individuals by current antiretroviral regimens. Cellular reservoirs and tissue sanctuary sites allow latent HIV-1 persistence and ongoing low-level virus replication. This project aims to characterize the residual replication of HIV-1 in subjects on antiretroviral therapy, particularly in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Correlation between HIV-1 viral load and CD4+ T lymphopenia in the GALT.
Secondary Outcomes (4)
HIV-1 DNA load in the GALT vs blood CD4+ T cells
HIV-1 tropism in the GALT vs blood CD4+ T cells
Characterization of residual HIV-1 in the plasma < 40 copies/ml
Characterization of HIV-1 DNA in blood monocytes
Study Arms (2)
HIV-1-infected patients on effective HAART
OTHERNon Infected HIV Volunteers
OTHERInterventions
This project aims to characterize the residual replication of HIV-1 in subjects on HAART, particularly in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)
These samples of blood will be use to characterize the residual viral populations on effective HAART in three compartments, plasma, monocytes, and GALT
