Abstract
Background/Objectives: Over the last decades, our projects have been dedicated to clarifying immunopathological and virological events associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Methods: By using non-human primate models of pathogenic and non-pathogenic lentiviral infections, we aimed at identifying the cells and tissues in which the virus persists, despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Indeed, the eradication of viral reservoirs is a major challenge for HIV cure. Results: We present a series of results performed in rhesus macaques of Chinese origin deciphering the virological and immunological events associated with ART that can be of interest for people living with HIV. Conclusions: This model could be of interest for understanding in whole body the clinical alteration that persist despite ART.
