title: Structured treatment interruption: important controlled trial in monkeys.
abstract: The first randomized controlled test of structured treatment interruption found that certain immune responses helped maintain an undetectable viral load during the interruptions--at least in this study with monkeys. Later, when treatment was permanently discontinued, the animals with intermittent drug treatment did better than those that had been on continuous antiretrovirals.
