HIV-DNA content in pTfh cells is associated with residual viremia in elite controllers

Conclusion: This association suggests that pTfh cells could have an important contribution to persistent viremia in elite controllers. This could be the consequence of a more limited control of HIV replication in elite controllers with higher transcriptional activity of HIV in pTfh cells of elite controllers than that in cART patients.
