Popis: Background The impact of very early infant treatment on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reservoir, and markers for treatment success, require study. Methods The Early Infant Treatment Study (EIT) enrolled 40 children living with HIV started on antiretroviral treatment (ART) at Results Median quantitative cell-associated DNA after at least 84 weeks was significantly lower among the first 27 EIT children tested than among 10 controls (40.8 vs 981.4 copies/million cells; P Conclusions Lower viral reservoir was associated with starting ART at
