摘要

There is no doubt that continuous treatment of HIV-infected persons with combinations of three or more antiretroviral drugs reduces morbidity and mortality from HIV-1 infection. Nevertheless, growing concern about the long-term tox-icity of antiretroviral drugs, the prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance in patients receiving therapy, and the substantial cost of continuous treatment has focused interest on postponing therapy or administering it only intermittently. Potential benefits of intermittent therapy include (ⅰ) augmentation of HIV-specific immunity through "autovaccina-tion" from recru-descent viremia that occurs during treatment interruptions; (ⅱ) lowering of drug exposure to decrease toxicity; and (ⅲ) reduction in the cost of antiretroviral therapy. Data in humans and animal models support "autovaccination" in acute HIV-1 infection (i.e., before serologic conversion), but this strategy is controversial in chronic HIV-1 infection because of limited and conflicting data. An important report in this issue of PNAS by Oxenius et al. (7) describes the disappointing results of sequential, structured treatment interruptions (STIs) on virologic and immunologic parameters in a large prospective trial of STI in chronic HIV-1 infection.
