    Abstract The persistence of latent viral genomes in people receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the main obstacle to a cure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Viral reservoirs can be defined as cells harboring HIV genomes that have the ability to produce infectious virions. Precise quantification of the cellular reservoirs of HIV is challenging because these cells are rare, heterogeneous, and outnumbered by a larger number of cells carrying defective genomes. In addition, measuring the inducibility of these proviruses requires functional assays and remains technically difficult. The recent development of single-cell and single-viral genome approaches revealed additional layers of complexity: the cell subsets that harbor proviruses are heterogeneous and their ability to be induced is variable. A substantial fraction of intact HIV genomes may be permanently silenced after years of ART, revealing the underappreciated importance of induction assays. As such, a simple approach that would assess simultaneously the genetic intactness and the inducibility of the reservoir is still lacking. In this study, we review recent advances in the development of methods to quantify and characterize persistently infected cells, and we discuss how these findings can inform the design of future assays aimed at measuring the size of the intact and inducible HIV reservoir.

    Abstract Antiretroviral therapy controls HIV replication but does not eliminate the virus from the infected host. The persistence of a small pool of cells harboring integrated and replication-competent HIV genomes impedes viral eradication efforts. The HIV reservoir was originally described as a relatively homogeneous pool of resting memory CD4+ T cells. Over the past 20 years, the identification of multiple cellular subsets of CD4+ T cells endowed with distinct biological properties shed new lights on the heterogeneity of HIV reservoirs. It is now clear that HIV persists in a large variety of CD4+ T cells, which contribute to HIV persistence through different mechanisms. In this review, we summarize recent findings indicating that specific biological features of well-characterized subsets of CD4+ T cells individually contribute to the persistence of HIV. These include an increased sensitivity to HIV infection, specific tissue locations, enhanced survival and heightened capacity to proliferate. We also discuss the relative abilities of these cellular reservoirs to contribute to viral rebound upon ART interruption. Together, these findings reveal that the HIV reservoir is not homogeneous and should be viewed as a mosaic of multiple cell types that all contribute to HIV persistence through different mechanisms.

    Title translation Mécanismes immunologiques impliqués dans la persistance des réservoirs du VIH.
    Abstract Résumé Les thérapies antirétrovirales (TAR) permettent de contrôler la réplication virale et ont considérablement amélioré la qualité et l'espérance de vie des personnes vivant avec le VIH (PVVIH). Toutefois, près de 40 ans après la découverte du virus, il n'existe toujours pas de traitement curatif permettant d'éliminer le VIH de l'organisme : Même après des années de TAR efficace, le virus persiste dans des cellules, principalement des lymphocytes T CD4 mémoires, qui constituent une source pérenne de virus infectieux et qui nécessitent de poursuivre les traitements à vie. Les recherches sur les réservoirs du VIH menées au cours des 25 dernières années ont permis de mieux comprendre comment certaines cellules infectées persistent pendant des décennies sans être éliminées, ni par les TAR, ni par les réponses immunitaires. Le VIH « se cache » dans des cellules à durée de vie très longue, qui ont la capacité de proliférer par différents mécanismes et qui expriment préférentiellement certains récepteurs leur permettant de demeurer invisibles au système immunitaire. Une meilleure compréhension de ces mécanismes de persistance est un prérequis nécessaire à la mise au point de stratégies thérapeutiques visant à éradiquer le VIH.

    Title translation Immunological mechanisms involved in the persistence of HIV reservoirs.
    Abstract Antiretroviral therapy (ART) controls viral replication and has dramatically improved the quality and life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, almost 40 years after the discovery of HIV, there is still no cure; even after years of effective ART, the virus persists in cells, primarily memory CD4 T cells. These cells are a perennial source of infectious viruses, which necessitate that people living with HIV continue ART for life. Research on HIV reservoirs over the past 25 years has provided insight into how some infected cells persist for decades without being cleared by ART nor by immune responses. HIV "hides" in cells with extended lifespans, which have the capacity to proliferate through diverse mechanisms and which preferentially express several receptors that allow them to remain invisible to the immune system. A better understanding of these mechanisms of persistence is a necessary prerequisite for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at eradicating HIV.
