Abstract
HIV infection of macrophages is a barrier to HIV cure and a source of neurocognitive pathology. We found that HIV induces RSAD2/Viperin during sustained infection of macrophages. While RSAD2/Viperin is an interferon-stimulated gene with known antiviral activity, we find RSAD2/Viperin promotes HIV infection in macrophages through multiple mechanisms, including interferon signaling. Therefore, RSAD2/Viperin may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of HIV-infected macrophages.
