Scientists map hidden HIV in africa to unlock cure clues

NCT ID NCT02154035

Summary

This study aimed to measure and understand the hidden, inactive HIV that persists in the body even when treatment is working well. Researchers followed 90 Ugandan adults with well-controlled HIV for up to 20 years, taking yearly blood samples. The goal was to see how much hidden virus they had, how it changed over time, and if it differed from people in Western countries, to help guide future research toward a cure.
