Description:	A workshop entitled “Finding and Characterizing HIV Reservoirs.” Sponsored by the NIH and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the intent of this workshop will be to assemble leading scientists in the field to review our understanding about the replication-competent reservoir (RCR) of HIV in ART-suppressed nonhuman primates and humans, to highlight gaps in our knowledge, to review state-of-the-art approaches towards addressing these gaps, and to encourage collaborations that might not otherwise arise. We recognize that comprehensive definition of the RCR in geographically- and demographically-dispersed cohorts might enable assessment of possible quantitative and qualitative variations in its size and disposition, and the discovery of circulating biomarker(s) that could be used to monitor it over time. In turn, such biomarkers might ultimately facilitate evaluation of the impact of interventions designed to durably suppress the reservoir. We hope that this workshop will motivate discussions and experiments that are focused on these goals.
