1. Low-level HIV viremia during antiretroviral therapy
Abstract : In most cases, antiretroviral therapy (ART) results in undetectable plasma HIV viral load (VL). Still, up to 25% of ART recipients may have detectable low-level viremia (LLV) of different amplitude and persistence. This thesis explores the impact of LLV during ART on virologic and clinical outcomes. READ MORE

2. On HIV-1 latency and viral reservoirs
Abstract : HIV-1 establishes a latent infection that is inaccessible to treatment in cellular and anatomical reservoirs. This thesis concerns several problematic issues of HIV-1 persistence, including ways to measure and monitor both the virus at low viral concentrations and the depletion of the reservoir. READ MORE

5. Alphavirus vectors as recombinant vaccines
Abstract : This thesis describes further developments of an expression system based on the alphavirus Semliki Forest virus (SFV), and its potential use as recombinant vaccine. The RNA genome of SFV contains a 3'open reading frame (ORF) encoding the structural proteins, and a 5' ORF coding for the viral replicase. READ MORE
