Different levels of viremia control are observed among HIV-1-infected individuals. Approximately 1% of the HIV-1-seropositive population suppresses viral replication to extremely low or undetectable levels in the absence of antiretroviral therapy and are termed HIV controllers (HICs) or elite controllers (ECs). In this study, we analyzed the distribution of HLA-B and -C, KIR, CCR5 genes, as well as selected SNPs to investigate their impact on the viral control observed in a cohort of Brazilian HICs. |
