Article Abstract
Assays to study HIV persistence are crucial to evaluate therapeutic strategies aimed toward an HIV cure. Several assays have been developed to date that rely on the measurement of nucleic acids. In recent years, the advancement of ultrasensitive technologies for the detection of proteins has improved our understanding of the role of translation-competent reservoirs in HIV persistence. In this chapter, we describe the development of an ultrasensitive p24 ELISA that uses planar array technology. This assay allows for the detection of HIV-1 p24 in the low fg/ml range in different biological matrixes, including cell lysates. This assay can be used to investigate the efficacy of latency reversing agents to reactivate HIV or to evaluate the persistence of translation-competent reservoirs in people living with HIV (PWH) in cells or diverse biological fluids.

Accurate detection and quantification of biomarkers at ultra-low levels is critical for disease diagnosis and effective treatment. Traditional detection technologies often lack the sensitivity, specificity, throughput, or multiplexing capacity required for comprehensive diagnostics, providing only a subset of these requirements. Here, we introduce AVAC, an automated optical technology for rapid and accurate biomarker detection with ultra-high sensitivity that significantly outperforms standard clinical assays.

Article Synopsis
- A novel enzyme-free electrochemical biosensor using palladium-platinum-copper mesoporous nanocubes (PdPtCu MNCs) was developed to detect HIV-p24 with high sensitivity.
- PdPtCu MNCs demonstrate strong peroxidase activity due to their unique composition and structure, while gold nanoparticles combined with graphene oxide enhance the sensor's performance.
- The immunosensor shows a linear detection range from 0.04 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL and can effectively function in human serum, representing a promising advance in clinical diagnostics for HIV detection.

Early detection and viral concentration monitoring of human immunodeficiency virus in resource-poor settings are important to control disease spread and reduce mortality. Nucleic acid amplification tests are expensive for low-resource settings. Lateral flow antibody tests are not sensitive if testing is performed within 7-10 days, and these tests are not quantitative.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of HIV RNA and cytokines in adolescents who have been on antiretroviral treatment (ART) since early in life, focusing on potential indicators for clinical trials aimed at finding a cure for HIV.
- It enrolled 40 perinatally infected adolescents on ART for over 5 years, measuring various HIV markers and correlating them with clinical characteristics.
- Results show that lower levels of cell-associated RNA (CA-RNA) are linked to lower levels of cell-associated DNA (CA-DNA), and that undetectable CA-RNA is associated with factors like earlier initiation of ART and higher Western Blot scores.
