Abstract: Although HIV-1 can replicate continuously in untreated patients, they can also be hidden intracellularly to evade the host immune clearance, that is latent virus. As the viral latency is a challenge to antiviral treatment, great concern has arisen. This article reviews literature on the mechanism of HIV-1 latency formation.

Key words: virus DNA, latency, latency formation of HIV-1
