CD4 and AIDS: Finally, the viro-immunological correlates of one of our macaques after suspension of treatment with H-iART/auranofin/BSO were reminiscent of the virus/CD4+ T-cell dynamics observed in the model of Pandrea et al. for a functional cure of AIDS in macaques [5], with CD4+ T-cell depletion associated with higher viral loads in an initial phase and CD4+ T-cell restoration in a later phase characterized by improved containment of viral load.
