LS-bNAbs were detectable in the gut up to 6m after a single dose, but tissue bNAbs exposurewere 7-8x lower compared to blood.

This long term viral control does not appear to be due to tissue persistence of LS-bNAbs.

Of these group, some experienced rebound while bNAbs were still high, some when the bNAbs were below the 10ug/ml threshold (previously thought to be when bNAbs are no longer effective), and some people who remained fully suppressed despite no bNAbs on board.

As RIO and other groups have shown, bNAbs may be most promising as an immunotherapeutic intervention to enhance immun rasponsew, rather than as ART treatment. #CROI2025

A real challenge in this field is being able to carefully examine brain and central nervous system tissues over time. People may consent to lumbar punctures but a (or multiple) brain biopsy is much more invasive. Studies like the Last Gift are truly amazing but only allow tissue study after death.

Yes, we need more longer acting options!
