The ability to control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in vivo in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a measure of the efficiency of antiviral immunity. In a study of patients with chronic, ART-suppressed HIV infection, AIDS Clinical Trials Group 5068 investigated the effects of immunization with an exogenous HIV vaccine and pulse exposure to the subject's unique viral epitopes, by means of structured treatment interruptions (STIs), on the dynamics of viral rebound during a subsequent analytical treatment interruption (ATI).
