The Effect of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cell Therapy on the Reconstitution of HIV-specific Immune Function

Summary

To study the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T Cell therapy on HIV patients whose plasma HIV has been successfully suppressed after cART, which is expected to enhance the res-constitution of HIV-specific immune function to assist the eradication of HIV reservoir.
