ABSTRACT: HIV-1 infection induces a chronic inflammatory environment not restored by suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). As of today, the effect of viral suppression and immune reconstitution in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) has been well described but not completely understood. Herein, we show how PLWH who naturally control the virus (PLWHEC) have a reduced proportion of CD4+CCR6+ and CD8+CCR6+ cells compared to PLWH on suppressive ART (PLWHART) and HIV-1 negative controls (HC). Expression of CCR2 was reduced on both CD4+, CD8+ and classical monocytes in PLWHEC compared to PLWHART and HC. Longer suppressive therapy, measured in the same patients, decreased number of cells expressing
