I'm not a biologist either; but, a thought: if the body is protected from greater infection while still keeping its infection levels constant, could the body then actually create successful antibodies for the existing HIV in them, and become cured over time?
- carbocation 14y agoIt's a good thought, but if that were true, then HAART, which keeps viral load low, would lead to a cure.
- sukuriant 14y agoMaybe it will in 20 years time...? I honestly have no idea. I'm speaking way outside of my knowledge realm and am more thinking aloud and asking questions than anything
- carbocation 14y agoInteresting thought, and I think we have the data to answer the question. HAART has been around since ~1995, so we actually have about 20 years of data to say that it does not cure HIV.
