“…In general, most studies aiming to characterize HIV DNA reservoirs in persons with HIV (PWH) have necessarily focused on blood, with a few other compartments that are relatively easy to sample such as the gut, through endoscopy (5,10,11,24), the genital tract, through genital secretions (12,(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), or the CNS, through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Of note, one study in PWH diagnosed with cancer allowed the analysis of HIV reservoirs in selected anatomic tissues collected during autopsy (38,39). More recently, De Scheerder et al investigated the origins of HIV rebound, and although this study was limited by the number of anatomical sites, they showed that viral rebound originated from diverse cellular and tissue reservoirs (40).…”
