Using cervical explant models and cervical tissue from ART-suppressed HIV+ women, the authors here show that resident memory T cells (TRM) in the cervical mucosa are preferentially infected and harbor more viral DNA, RNA and protein than non-TRM, suggesting that TRM may serve as viral reservoir in the cervical mucosa.
