HIV-1 Infection |
- To assess the impact of HSCT on the immune response to HIV by measuring HIV specific antigens in peripheral blood (via immune assays such as ELISA and Western blot) longitudinally.
- To measure the decay of persisting HIV by sequencing and quantitating HIV RNA in plasma, and HIV DNA and RNA in peripheral blood cells including CD4+ T cells and CD4+ T cell subsets, as well as in tissue cells derived from fine needle lymph node aspirates, and/or bone marrow aspirates, and/or rectal tissue.
- To determine the presence of the CCR5 delta 32 allele in the patient prior to and following HSCT which will provide information regarding the presence of this gene in the donor cells.
- To correlate these findings to the clinical outcome of the individuals enrolled in this study based on their clinical standard of care assessments following HSCT.

- Reduction in HIV-1 DNA levels in CD4+ T cells measured by real-time PCR [ Time Frame: 3 years ]HIV-1 DNA in CD4+ T cells will be measured by real-time PCR and reported as HIV-1 DNA copies in 10e6 CD4+ T cells
- Reduction in HIV-1 Antigens and Antibodies measured by ELISA and Western Blot [ Time Frame: 3 years ]HIV-1 antigens and antibodies (Ag/Ab) in peripheral blood will be measured by 4th generation chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and by Western blot (WB).
