Research priorities for an HIV cure: International AIDS Society Global Scientific Strategy 2021

Steven G. Deeks et al.

Summary: Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for people living with HIV, lifelong treatment is required and there is no cure. Various methods including immune activators, neutralizing antibodies, therapeutic vaccines, and gene editing tools have shown promise in curing HIV in nonhuman primate models, with optimism for human clinical trials. Future HIV cure strategies may focus on in vivo delivery of gene-editing tools to target the virus, boost immunity, or protect cells from infection.
