Teaching the immune system to control HIV
There is no cure for HIV. While scientists have made considerable progress in controlling the infection, patients still must take daily antiretroviral medication for the rest of their lives.
AI Summary
A clinical trial coordinated by Rockefeller, Imperial College London and the University of Oxford demonstrated that administering one or two doses of broadly neutralizing antibodies can maintain HIV at undetectable levels for months or years. The approach offers a potential alternative to lifelong daily antiretroviral therapy, which currently has no cure. Researchers observed long‑term viral suppression after the limited antibody treatment, indicating a new strategy for controlling the infection.
