Residual plasma viremia (<50 copies/mL) persists in certain human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, the relationship between the degree of residual plasma viremia, the size of HIV reservoirs, and the level of immune activation has not been delineated. Here, we demonstrate that residual plasma viremia correlates with the size of the CD4(+) T cell viral reservoir, but not with markers of immune activation, suggesting that reactivation of the latent viral reservoir may not be the sole source of residual plasma viremia. Novel therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting the source of residual viremia may be necessary to achieve viral eradication.

D011533 Proviruses Duplex DNA sequences in eukaryotic chromosomes, corresponding to the genome of a virus, that are transmitted from one cell generation to the next without causing lysis of the host. Proviruses are often associated with neoplastic cell transformation and are key features of retrovirus biology. Provirus

D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.
