1. Low-level HIV viremia during antiretroviral therapy
Sammanfattning : In most cases, antiretroviral therapy (ART) results in undetectable plasma HIV viral load (VL). Still, up to 25% of ART recipients may have detectable low-level viremia (LLV) of different amplitude and persistence. This thesis explores the impact of LLV during ART on virologic and clinical outcomes. LÄS MER
2. Antiretroviral treatment of HIV-1 in Sweden with focus on virological aspects
Sammanfattning : From a clinical standpoint, there are many factors to consider when optimizing the care for people living with HIV (PLWH). With help from clinical guidelines, most obstacles can be addressed. Expanded knowledge is however in constant demand, from local conditions to universal processes. LÄS MER
3. HIV-1 infection of the central nervous system. Markers of pathogenesis and antiretroviral treatment effects
Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) invades the central nervous system (CNS) early in the course of infection and either directly or through opportunistic infections causes a spectrum of neurological complications. The most severe manifestation of HIV-1 CNS infection is AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC), which occurs in approximately 20% of untreated patients with AIDS. LÄS MER
4. Lost in transition : pre-antiretroviral care and delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
Sammanfattning : Background: Comprehensive HIV care aims at providing care and support, from HIV counselling and testing, through pre-antiretroviral (pre-ARV) care to antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, many people living with HIV (PLHIV) do not start treatment or are lost to follow-up during pre-ARV care, and subsequently initiate ART very late, with a high risk of HIV/AIDS-related mortality.

5. HIV Persistence and Viral Reservoirs
Sammanfattning : Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively inhibit replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the virus is able to persist in cellular and anatomical viral reservoirs. Latently infected resting memory CD4+ T-cells are an important cellular reservoir, and the central nervous system (CNS) an important anatomical reservoir for HIV-1 infection. LÄS MER
