Viral Reseroir Seen 'Strikingly' Soon After HIV Infection
"Before the latent HIV reservoir can be eradicated, clinicians must be able to measure it. "Right now, the assays we have to measure it are expensive, require a lot of blood, and we are not exactly sure what they measure," Nicolas Chomont, PhD, from the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute of Florida in Port Sainte Lucie, said during the news conference.
A reported scientific priority for the International AIDS Society has been to develop assays that can measure the size of the reservoir. Dr. Chomont's team has come up with a novel assay they call the Tat/Rev Induced Limiting Dilution Assay, or TILDA."

'It's extremely disappointing. We had been hopeful that her remission would lead to bigger and better things.'"
