US researchers have given millions of HIV patients the hope of getting rid of this debilitating disease.
The problem of AIDS is the ability of the virus to hide, and thus not to be detected, and therefore uncontrolled, which means that the patient can never be cured.
But researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have made HIV hidden in visible cells of the immune system, claiming that they had only one step left to do to find a cure.
Researchers say targeting the TAT gene in the brain can drive the virus out of hiding, making it vulnerable to the immune system and the drugs currently used to treat the disease, which could help control it.
The drugs currently used to treat the disease are not the cause of the problem, which the new study has attempted to address by focusing efforts on the direction of the gene, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) recently.
