Viewpoint
A National Tissue Bank to Track HIV Eradication and Immune Reconstitution
Winston Cavert,
Ashley T. Haase
Understanding of HIV reservoirs that can
complicate and confound current approaches to antiretroviral therapy
will require better resources than are currently available. Cavert and
Haase propose the creation of tissue banks from HIV-positive
individuals who have died from other causes such as accidents or
trauma. They estimate that it might be possible to collect tissues from
10 to 30 individuals over a 2-year period at a cost of $1 million per
year.
