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. Antiretroviral treatment of HIV-1 in Sweden with focus on virological aspects
Abstract : From a clinical standpoint, there are many factors to consider when optimizing the care for people living with HIV (PLWH). With help from clinical guidelines, most obstacles can be addressed. Expanded knowledge is however in constant demand, from local conditions to universal processes. READ MORE

3. HIV-1 infection of the central nervous system. Markers of pathogenesis and antiretroviral treatment effects
Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) invades the central nervous system (CNS) early in the course of infection and either directly or through opportunistic infections causes a spectrum of neurological complications. The most severe manifestation of HIV-1 CNS infection is AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC), which occurs in approximately 20% of untreated patients with AIDS. READ MORE

4. Lost in transition : pre-antiretroviral care and delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
Abstract : Background: Comprehensive HIV care aims at providing care and support, from HIV counselling and testing, through pre-antiretroviral (pre-ARV) care to antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, many people living with HIV (PLHIV) do not start treatment or are lost to follow-up during pre-ARV care, and subsequently initiate ART very late, with a high risk of HIV/AIDS-related mortality.

5. HIV Persistence and Viral Reservoirs
Abstract : Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively inhibit replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the virus is able to persist in cellular and anatomical viral reservoirs. Latently infected resting memory CD4+ T-cells are an important cellular reservoir, and the central nervous system (CNS) an important anatomical reservoir for HIV-1 infection. READ MORE
