Autophagy-enhancing drugs limit mucosal HIV-1 acquisition and suppress viral replication ex vivo

Abstract Current direct-acting antiviral therapies are highly effective in suppressing HIV-1 replication. However, mucosal inflammation undermines prophylactic treatment efficacy, and HIV-1 persists in long-lived tissue-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and CD4+ T cells of treated patients. Host-directe...
