- Though the rationale that I describe today to place HSV 2 positive patients on suppression to reduce HIV acquisition have not yet been proven, they make a whole lot of sense. When the genital epithelium is disupted, with or without recognized symptoms, HIV can enter the body more easily, if it is around. CD4 cells, the targets of HIV, are recruited by the immune system to the site of HSV reactivation. There the cells sit, on broken skin, just waiting to be infected by any HIV that is nearby. Connie Celum and her associates have ongoing studies to see if suppressing HSV 2 with acyclovir can decrease new HIV infections. Perhaps next year, we will have more than theoretical information to warrant suppression for HSV 2 infected patients.
