After more than four decades of investigation, scientists may be on the precipice of finding a cure for HIV, a virus that currently can be reduced to undetectable levels in the body but not completely eradicated.
Although HIV can be suppressed using antiretroviral therapy (ART), it cannot yet be cured. This is because the virus integrates itself into host cells and may become dormant but remains ready to emerge from the cell reservoirs when ART stops. Thus, individuals with HIV require lifelong adherence to medication.
Tune in to learn from Dr. Mario Stevenson, an internationally recognized molecular virologist, why the body doesn’t recognize the latent HIV cells and how the latest research and therapies are targeting the masked virus.
