Immune-enhancing treatment may destabilize HIV reservoirs

Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to an undetectable level in most chronically infected people, it cannot eliminate reservoirs of HIV that persist in latently infected immune cells. Recent findings suggest that combining ART with an immune-enhancing treatment may destabilize viral reservoirs in macaques infected with SIV, the monkey equivalent of HIV.
