First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at how well HIV medications reach different parts of the body where the virus can hide. Twenty men with HIV who were on stable treatment provided samples of lymph nodes, fat, rectal tissue, and sperm. The goal was to measure drug levels in these areas to better understand viral reservoirs, not to test a new treatment.
