all HIV-positive people must take antiretroviral drugs for life because the virus can hide in the body and re-emerge if treatment is halted. Entinostat, an anti-cancer drug, is thelatest of a family of drugs that could lead to a full cureby reviving dormant virus and flushing it out into...
"This finding, though not definitive, suggests that new approaches will allow the cure of HIV in the future," Margolis said. "This is a baby step, but it's a significant conceptual move forward." Margolis said he believes the drug reactivates the virus inside the dormant cell, either wakin...
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...
AT THE 1996 world AIDS conference in Vancouver last month the optimism was palpable, a mood swing brought about by results flooding in from clinical trials testing new anti-HIV drugs called protease inhibitors. These drugs, which knock out one of the enz
