Study Reveals Mediators Of Persistent HIV Viremia

Pharmacy Times (12/1, McGovern) reported a study “uncovered mediators of persistent HIV viremia.” The study found that non-suppressible HIV viremia (NSV) “is primarily composed of 1 to 2 large plasma viral clones that are made of greater than 70% of plasma viruses.” Furthermore, “the viral clones act as the primary driver of NSV across multiple longitudinal time points; however, evidence did not confirm plasma viral sequence changes and evolution.” The findings were published in Nature Medicine.
