Summary

This study looks at what happens to HIV in the body when people stop their daily HIV medication for a short time. Researchers will use PET/CT scans and lymph node biopsies to compare virus levels in the blood and lymph nodes. The goal is to understand where HIV hides, not to find a cure. About 50 adults with HIV who are on stable treatment will take part.
