Twelve weeks of dipyridamole increased extracellular adenosine levels and decreased T cell activation in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this analysis, we investigated the effect of dipyridamole on HIV-specific T cell responses. We compared changes in Gag- and Env-specific T cell responses using intracellular cytokine staining, following 12 wk of dipyridamole treatment vs placebo.

IMPAACT2015 enrolled AYAPHIV on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) with cognitive impairment to detect and quantify HIV in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Design: IMPAACT2015 was a U.
HIV-1 infection greatly alters the NK cell phenotypic and functional repertoire. This is highlighted by the expansion of a rare population of FcRγ- NK cells exhibiting characteristics of traditional immunologic memory in people with HIV (PWH). Although current antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively controls HIV-1 viremia and disease progression, its impact on HIV-1-associated NK cell abnormalities remains unclear.
