Levels of HIV Reservoirs : the best predictors for long term control of HIV after stopping cART in early treated patients

(the SALTO ANRS 116)

95 patients

  • Age 40 years (IQR: 36–45).
  • Pre-cART values
  • CD4 : 454 /mL (392–576)
  • VL : 4.3 log10 cp/ml (3.9 – 4.5)
  • CD4 nadir : 382 /mL (340–492).
  • Duration of cART : 5.3 y (4.0–6.0)
  • Baseline values
  • CD4 : 813 cells/µL (695–988)
  • DNA : 206 copies/106 PBMCs

(IQR: 53–556)

12 months post TI

  • All had CD4 cell >500/mm3
  • 7/95 patients still had a VL<400 cp/ml

(KP: 7.5%, CI: 3.7-14.6)

  • 4 kept a VL<400 copies/mL

up to 36 months;

  • HIV DNA was the only significant

predictor of maintaining VL < 400 cp/ml

(median: < 10 vs 233 cp / 106PBMCs, p < 0.001 )

funding for HIV Cure

  • Although no specific earmarked funds for HIV Cure, the ANRS

funds numerous projects

  • Funding, including basic research, preclinical studies and

clinical research (therapeutic trials and cohorts)

  • 2012 for specific HIV Cure research (very narrow definition)

and HIV controllers: 1,4 million € (1,8 M USD)

  • Total amount includes some post-doc salaries and PhD

studentships, but excludes all other salaries
