Resident memory T cells are a cellular reservoir for HIV in the cervical mucosa.

HIV viral reservoirs are established very early during infection. Resident memory T cells (T) are present in tissues such as the lower female genital tract, but the contribution of this subset of cells to the pathogenesis and persistence of HIV remains unclear. Here, we show that cervical CD4T display a unique repertoire of clusters of differentiation, with enrichment of several molecules associated with HIV infection susceptibility, longevity and self-renewing capacities.
