Harnessing insights from one child case of post-treatment control of HIV
Individuals who have the ability to control HIV-1 to undetectable levels either naturally in the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART) (elite controllers), or those who achieve this after starting ART early in infection and later stopping ART (post-treatment controllers) – tell us that HIV remission is possible. This study describes virological and immunological features associated with a single case of durable post-treatment control of HIV-1 in a young South African child.
A Mom's Motivation to Monitor Breathing
My team at UC Irvine has developed small Band-Aid© like sensors that can continuously monitor both respiration rate and volume. We made these disposable sensors with an inexpensive children’s toy, Shrinky-Dinks.
