Abstract

HIV controllers are a small group of exceptional individuals who innately suppress the virus without medication. The mechanisms of this control are varied and not completely understood, but controllers are generally found to be <1% of the HIV+ population. Using three definitions of controller, this descriptive analysis of 13 African Population-based HIV Impact Assessments suggests that controllers vary in prevalence between countries. Additionally, controllers have significantly higher CD4 counts, are on average older and, to some extent, are more likely to be female than their untreated, unsuppressed counterparts.
