Study Summary
Despite advances in AntiRetroviral Therapy (ART) leading to a rapid control of the HIV virus in individuals affected, HIV can persist indefinitely and there is no cure. The HIV virus has been shown to have a unique ability to hide within the human gene inside human cells and in tissues, remaining 'silent' and rapidly reactivate 'waking up" if ART is stopped. There are a number of ways to measure the silent HIV reservoir, including a common research-based laboratory test called Cell-Associated UnSpliced (CA-US) HIV RNA. This is an early marker of the HIV virus waking up. It is often used to test how well new drugs developed to eliminate the silent virus might work. This study is examining whether the diurnal variation (daily rhythm) and/or stress can affect CA-US HIV RNA levels in individuals diagnosed with HIV and receiving ART.
