"HIV infection can be treated but can not be cured. As soon as patients stop treatment, the virus reappears. Several strategies are being developed to achieve a cure, either by killing virus reservoir cells, by blocking the virus in a dormant state, or by continuously expressing antiviral molecules in blood stem cells."
Dr. Gatignol is a senior Investigator, Head of "Virus-Cell Interactions" Laboratory in the HIV/AIDS Research Axis at the Lady Davis Institute. She can discuss fundamental research and the search for an HIV cure.
