AIDS Cure One Step Closer

The groups were reacting to recent HIV cure research that was conducted in Durban by University of KwaZulu-Natal.
UKZN professor Thumbi Ndungu, the director for basic & translational science at Africa Health Research Institute said the "groundbreaking" HIV cure trial conducted has demonstrated promising results in achieving ART-free virus control.
The trial showed that 20% of participants remain off ART and are virally suppressed after one-and-a-half years, Ndungu said.
