HIV or AIDS is a fatal disease as till today we have to take medicines to cure it for lifelong and ARV medicines are combination of usually 03 medicines which are toxic to the body too. An experimental HIV antibody tested on a group of monkeys showed to be effective as it suppressed the virus for nearly six months without additional treatment, researchers have found. The findings lend a clue to strategies that attempt to achieve sustained, drug-free viral remission in people living with HIV, the researcher reported.
The researchers may have targeted the viral reservoir -- populations of long-lived, latently infected cells that harbour the virus and that lead to resurgent viral replication when suppressive therapy was stopped, the study noted. "HIV excels at evading the immune system by hiding out in certain immune cells," said Director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious…
