Specific therapy regimes could lead to long-term immunological control of HIV.

Abstract:
We use mathematical models to study the relationship between HIV and the immunesystem during the natural course of infection and in the context of differentantiviral treatment regimes. The models suggest that an efficient cytotoxic Tlymphocyte (CTL) memory response is required to control the virus. We define CTLmemory as long-term persistence of CTL precursors in the absence of antigen.Infection and depletion of CD4(+) T helper cells interfere with CTL memorygeneration, resulting in persistent viral replication and disease progression.We find that antiviral drug therapy during primary infection can enable thedevelopment of CTL memory. In chronically infected patients, specific treatmentschedules, either including deliberate drug holidays or antigenic boosts of theimmune system, can lead to a re-establishment of CTL memory. Whether suchtreatment regimes would lead to long-term immunologic control deservesinvestigation under carefully controlled conditions.
