Initiation of ART during early acute HIV infection preserves mucosal Th17 function and reverses HIV-related immune activation.

Initiation of ART during early acute HIV infection preserves mucosal Th17 function and reverses HIV-related immune activation.

Mucosal Th17 cells play an important role in maintaining gut epithelium integrity and thus prevent microbial translocation. Chronic HIV infection is characterized by mucosal Th17 cell depletion, microbial translocation and subsequent immune-activation, which remain elevated despite antiretroviral th...
