REFNo: HS2671ES

1. Identify correlates of susceptibility to proviral reactivation through immune profiling, which will be analyzed by multiparameter by flow cytometry methods, antibody profiling and transcriptomic analyses by bulk RNA-seq of PBMCs and CD4+ T cells in perinatal and adult infections.
2. To quantitatively and qualitatively characterize viral reservoirs, in children, adolescents and youth living with HIV compared with adults through determining and comparing the size, composition, and inducibility of the latent HIV reservoir in different geographic locations and subtypes, and characterizing their differences.
