Research Article: Detection of HIV- DNA/RNA in Peripheral Blood, Bone Marrow and Femoral Head of Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

Date Published: 2024-02-12

Abstract:
According to UNAIDS, there are currently million people living with HIV (PLWH) worldwide. By the end of , China had reported . million PLWH cases and , deaths. Despite the application of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for nearly three decades, achieving complete success in conquering acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains challenging due to the persistence of latent virus in various organs throughout the body. Our study focused on the bone marrow (BM), which serves as the primary site for hematopoiesis, encompassing the development, differentiation, and maturation of most immune cells. The interference of HIV infection on BM microenvironment leads to the imbalance of hematopoietic cell production, which participates in the depletion of CD+ T cells. Additionally, BM serves as the site for CCR?/? hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which has recently instilled hope for AIDS cure in patients, thereby highlighting the immense potential of BM research. Nevertheless, due to its limited accessibility compared to blood, BM remains inadequately explored.
