Abstract
HIV-1 infection has caused a number of deaths worldwide and remains a global health concern. Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) inhibits viral replication, prevents CD4+ T cell loss, and thus slows HIV disease progression. However, cART does not eradicate HIV-1. Infected individuals must remain on treatment for their entire lives and treatment interruption will result in viral rebound.
