Investigators presented some of the latest HIV cure-related research at a press conference and oral session on viral reservoirs at the 19th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) this week in Washington, DC.
Experts also met for a two-day cure workshop prior to the conference, sponsored by the International AIDS Society (IAS), where they launched a global scientific strategy Towards an HIV Cure.
"The field is moving fast," said Sharon Lewin from Monash University in Melbourne, who will be local co-chair for the next International AIDS Conference in 2014. "We certainly don’t have a cure currently, but we have a better understanding of what we need to do".
"Today might be considered the day when the cure research agenda moves from the basic science lab into the clinic," added Steven Deeks, co-chair with Francois Barré-Sinoussi of the IAS HIV Cure working group.
