Maraviroc (MVC) reduces viral replication in heart and plasma, and macrophage activation in myocardium. A, Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RNA levels in the heart were significantly lower in MVC‐treated SIV‐infected macaques vs untreated SIV‐infected macaques. B, Mean plasma viral load over the course of infection in MVC‐treated vs untreated SIV‐infected macaques showed an initial 1 to 2 log decrease in SIV RNA. C, Total immunostaining for CD163+ macrophages was significantly lower in MVC‐treated vs untreated SIV‐infected macaques, similar to immunostaining levels in uninfected control macaques (see Figure 3). D, In contrast, MVC treatment did not reduce myocardial immunostaining for CD68 in SIV‐infected macaques. Mann‐Whitney; bars represent median values.
