Persistent immune dysfunction during suppressive antiretroviral therapy: implications for analytical treatment interruption trials for chronic HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa

2026Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Innovative combination immunotherapies to avert persistent immune dysfunction, such as therapeutic vaccines, combination bNabs, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitors to boost CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell function and augment post-ART viral control, and latency reversal agents to increase cytotoxicity potential of dendritic cell and natural killer cells, among others, could potentially optimize HIV-specific CD8 T-cell cytotoxicity and viral clearance, and delay viral rebound during ATI trials in SSA.
