First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug lenacapavir to standard HIV treatment can reduce the hidden HIV reservoirs that remain in the body. About 50 adults with well-controlled HIV will either add lenacapavir or continue their usual therapy. Researchers will measure changes in these viral reservoirs over two years to see if this approach could one day lead to better control or a cure.
