Analysis of the Reservoir in Individuals Controlling HIV Infection

This intervention involves the collection of blood, lymph node, colon biopsy, and placental samples from individuals living with HIV (HIV controllers) and healthy controls. The goal is to investigate HIV latency by analyzing these biological samples to gain insights into the mechanisms and characteristics of latent HIV reservoirs. The sampling procedures will be conducted using minimally invasive techniques where appropriate, and the collected samples will undergo laboratory analysis for further study.
