Brief description T-cell loss due to HIV infection causes immunodeficiency. Since virus grows faster if more T-cells are available and preferentially infects dividing cells, we want to understand how replacement, division and death of uninfected T-cells affect the progress of HIV infection and T-cell recovery during drug therapy. The results of our study will lead to a better understanding of HIV disease, and may assist in the development of novel treatment regimes optimising T-cell numbers during infection.
