Advancing Towards an HIV-1 Cure: Study Implications and Future Prospects

Abstract

Christopher Brian

The recent advancements in the pursuit of an HIV-1 cure, focusing on key studies and their implications for future research and clinical practice. We explore novel therapeutic approaches, including gene editing, latency reversal and immune-based strategies, which offer promising avenues for achieving sustained viral remission or eradication. Additionally, we discuss challenges such as viral reservoirs and immune evasion mechanisms that must be addressed to realize the goal of a functional cure. Finally, we highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and sustained investment in basic and translational research to accelerate progress towards ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
