University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists identified drug candidates that show promise to reverse the ability of HIV to escape detection by the immune system. The discovery was described today in Cell Chemical Biology. It reveals a potential path to eliminate the viral reservoir that cannot be cleared with existing antiretroviral drugs. This reservoir is what prevents people from being completely cured of HIV even when their viral load is undetectable in standard tests. As Dr. Lori Emery-Selak tells Rick Dayton, this potential treatment can potentially allow drug treatments to not simply maintain a patient with HIV, but perhaps destroy the virus in the patient.
