Summary

This study looked at 30 people with HIV who had undetectable virus levels in their blood for at least 6 months due to antiretroviral therapy. Researchers examined gut tissue to find hidden HIV that standard blood tests miss. The goal was to understand why the virus persists in the body even when treatment works well.
