Summary

This study pauses HIV medication in 40 volunteers to closely watch how the virus and body interact early on. Participants stop their antiretroviral therapy for up to three weeks and have frequent check-ups. Most will restart treatment within three weeks, even if the virus stays undetectable. The goal is to learn more about HIV, not to test a new treatment.
