Figure 4.
Potential and demonstrated sites of HIV reservoirs. Anatomic sites with demonstrated recovery of replication-competent virus in humans following years of suppressive ART are highlighted in bold. Potential replication-competent anatomic reservoir sites are in regular font. These sites represent tissues/organs where HIV nucleic acid has been detected either in humans or animal models but recovery of rebound-competent virus in humans after years of suppressive ART has not been demonstrated.
