Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is able to successfully suppress plasma viremia in most people living with HIV, ART withdrawal typically results in viral replication and rebound. Authors investigate the effect, in terms of delay in viral replication, and immune cell dynamics in lymphoid tissue, of fingolimod (FTY720) administration at the time of ART initiation in SIV-infected rhesus macaques.
