Exploratory Study of Cellular Reservoirs in Blood From HIV Infected Patients
Exploratory Study of Cellular Reservoirs in Blood From HIV Infected Patients
This study evaluates the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy on the size of the
 latent viral reservoirs in resting CD4+ T cells and monocytes in HIV positive patients. The
 activation state of the cells will be assessed, by measuring the activation of Akt, to
 determine its influence on the size of the viral reservoirs.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  HIV infected patients under Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) or Naïve
 from treatment

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Age limits

 -  Pregnancy

 -  Legal restrictions to consent
