Summary

HIV-1 infected patients with normal peripheral blood CD4+ T-cell counts and undetectable viral load will be recruited in four Belgian HIV reference centers. Selected patients will undergo a two-step screening in which a viral reservoir measurement will be performed and among those with a very low viral reservoir an analytical treatment interruption of their longstanding antiretroviral therapy (ART). There is no randomization foreseen. Patients will receive an intense clinical and laboratory follow-up during 48 weeks followed by 12 weeks post intervention.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Able and willing to provide written informed consent
  • Men and women age ≥ 18 and = 500/μl for a period of at least 3 months prior study entry
  • Nadir CD4+ T-cell count is ≥300/μl. A lower nadir CD4+ T-cell count will be allowed if measured at time of acute infection as far as the relative CD4+ count remains above 20%. An acute infection is defined as an association of a clinical picture of retroviral syndrome together with a seroconversion in HIV serology or an incomplete confirmation test.
  • Plasma viral load 5 x upper limit on normal range (ULN). One retest within 14 days is allowed.
  • Receipt of any immune modulator or suppressor within 30 days prior study entry, including, but not limited to drugs such as corticosteroids (with the exception of corticosteroids used for topical use), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7 and IL-15.
  • Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
  • Participation in other interventional studies involving investigational drug.
