Abstract
HAART treatment has greatly improved life expectancy of HIV-1-infected individuals. Unfortunately, latency still remains the major barrier towards HIV-1 eradication. Efforts to identify viral and host cell proteins involved in latency remain important research areas to win this war against HIV-1. Here, we review the contributions of several factors in the establishment of latently infected cells. In addition, we also raise the possibility that RNA helicases, while playing important roles at almost every step of the HIV-1 replication cycle, could be implicated in the processes governing the establishment of these latent reservoirs.

HIV Vaccine Development.
The development of a safe and effective vaccine that impedes HIV-1 transmission and/or limits the severity of infection remains a public health priority. The HIV-1/AIDS pandemic continues to have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable and under-served communities in the USA and globally. In the USA, minority communities that have relatively ...read more
Lymphomas in People Living with HIV (PLWH)
In the era of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), the incidence of lymphoma among people living with HIV (PLWH) surpassed Kaposi's sarcoma in 2011, becoming the most common AIDS-defining malignancy. The annual incidence rate ranges approximately from 100 to 300 per 100,000 individuals with HIV infection as the population denominator, which ...read more
