environ. bassin de retenue gen. réservoirs ni en métal, ni en maçonnerie English thesaurus abbr. resvr ; rsvr med. Resting CD4 cells or other cells that are infected with HIV but not actively producing HIV. Latent HIV reservoirs are established during the earliest stage of HIV infection. Although antiretroviral therapy ART can reduce the level of HIV in the blood to an undetectable level, latent reservoirs of HIV continue to survive. When a latently infected cell is reactivated, the cell begins to produce HIV again. For this reason, ART cannot cure HIV infection. see also viral latency
