It is unknown if the reduction in HIV-1 reservoirs observed following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with susceptible donor cells is sufficient to achieve sustained HIV-1 remission. To characterize HIV-1 reservoirs in blood and tissues, and to perform analytical antiretroviral treatment interruptions to determine the potential for allogeneic HSCT to lead to sustained antiretroviral-free HIV-1 remission. Characterization of HIV-1 reservoirs and immunity before and after antiretroviral interruption. Tertiary care center. Two HIV-infected men with undetectable HIV-1 following allogeneic HSCT for hematologic malignancies. Quantification of HIV-1 in various tissues after HSCT and the duration of antiretroviral-free HIV-1 remission after treatment interruption. No HIV-1 was detected from peripheral blood or rectal mucosa prior to analytical treatment interruption. Plasma HIV-1 RNA and cell-associated HIV-1 DNA remained undetectable until 12 to 32 weeks after antiretroviral cessation. Both patients experienced rebound viremia with the development of acute retroviral syndrome within one to two weeks of the most recent negative viral load measurement. One patient developed new efavirenz resistance after re-initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Re-initiation of active therapy led to viral decay and resolution of symptoms in both patients. The study was limited to 2 patients. Allogeneic HSCT may lead to loss of detectable HIV-1 from blood and gut tissue and variable periods of antiretroviral-free HIV-1 remission, but viral rebound can occur despite a minimum 3-log10 reduction in reservoir size. Long-lived tissue reservoirs may have contributed to viral persistence. Defining the nature and half-life of such reservoirs is essential in order to achieve durable antiretroviral-free HIV-1 remission.
