HIV active in tissues of patients who were treated, study shows

While successful treatment of HIV with antiretroviral medications leads to undetectable levels of virus in the blood, controls the disease and leads to much longer lifespans, scientists know that HIV continues to reside in ...

Researchers achieve sustained viral remission in SIV infection

Scientists have shown that they can achieve sustained control of infection by HIV's relative SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) in rhesus macaques, by supplementing antiretroviral drugs with an antibody during and after ...
