Abstract
Objective Infants infected with HIV-1 fail to contain viral replication as efficiently as adults. In the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART), opportunistic infections are common and mortality rates range between 10–45% in HIV-infected infants. To understand better the factors underlying rapid infant HIV-1 progression, we examined HIV-specific CD8 T cells during the acute and chronic phases of infection.
