“You would still be infected with HIV, it’s not a cure for the virus. But the virus would stay latent, it wouldn’t wake up, so it wouldn’t develop into AIDS. With a treatment like this, you would maintain a healthy immune system.” The successful development of this type of one...
The authors discuss the priorities of the International AIDS Society (IAS) on research for developing cure for HIV virus. They say that unique perspectives for improving therapy or vaccines development and more scientists involve will be needed for the success of cure research. They note the clues...
15.HIV is a tricky virus that escapes typical immune responses.During a successful immune system response to a foreign body,white blood cells produce antibodies that target the foreign body.These antibodies then mark the foreign body for destruction by other immune cells.For the most part,HIV esc...
Other significant barriers to cure include residual viral replication in patients receiving cART, even when the virus is not detectable by conventional assays. In addition, HIV can be sequestered in anatomical reservoirs, such as the brain, gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary tract./p pAchieving ...
HIV, the virus that causes Aids, was firstidentified in 1983. To catch this virus was initially a death sentence, but today, thanks to antiretroviral drugs, it can be kept in check. However, there is still no cure. A small biotech company in San Francisco called Excision BioTherapeutics is...

And finally, that the treatments were more comfortable. And once at this point, the possibility that the virus may disappear from the body is a more realistic goal than ever. The story of AIDS has changed and, for the first time, we can foresee in the short term the beginning of the ...
HIV/AIDS: ARE YOU AT RISK?HIV is a virus. A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease. There are many different viruses, for example, the flu virus or the SARS virus. HIV weakens a person's immune system; that is,the part of the body that fights disease. You can...
Towards a cure for HIV: a long road ahead Plasma viremia can be effectively suppressed and maintained below the limits of detection for extended periods of time in most human immunodeficiency virus... TW Chun - 《Retrovirology》 被引量: 15发表: 2012年 ...
A new way to get rid of HIV from the body could one day be turned into a cure for infection by this virus, although it hasn’t yet been shown to work in people. The strategy uses a relatively recent genetic technique called CRISPR, which can make cuts in DNA to introduce errors into...
