HIV cure research

Tracks functional cure, durable remission and eradication research without presenting isolated cases or early signals as available care.

This information does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or prescribing, and it cannot predict an individual's lifespan.

What it may help people do

The goal is durable viral control without continuous treatment, or elimination of replication-competent virus.

How far human research has gone

Research includes reservoir, immune, antibody, cell and gene-related strategies at different levels of maturity and human evidence.

What it still cannot do

Rare cases, short-term markers or small samples do not establish broad efficacy, safety or availability.

What to watch next

Prioritise reproducible human results, duration, safety and a clear comparison baseline.
