Neonates and infants infected with HIV generally develop disease rapidly, with early antiretroviral therapy (ART) often failing to achieve a sustained state of ART-free virologic remission. Here, the authors study viral reservoirs in neonatal macaques with early initiation of ART and an integrase inhibitor.
