Common bone drug could target hidden HIV

NCT ID NCT07216794

Summary

This study is testing whether alendronate, a medication commonly used for bone health, can reduce the hidden reservoir of HIV in people who are already on effective antiviral therapy. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either alendronate or a placebo pill, and neither they nor the researchers will know who gets which. The main goal is to see if this approach can shrink the pool of dormant virus that persists even with standard treatment.
