Five Universities in the UK have joined efforts together to create a treatment which is very promising to cure the HIV/AIDS disease.
A 44-year-old, one of 50 people currently trialling the treatment which targets the disease even in its dormant state, is very close to being the first person in the world to be fully cured of the disease.
Scientists said presently the virus is completely undetectable in the man’s blood, although that could be a result of regular drugs. However if the dormant cells are also cleared out it could represent the first complete cure.
"This is one of the first serious attempts at a full cure for HIV,” said Mark Samuels, managing director of the National Institute for Health Research Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure.
“We are exploring the real possibility of curing HIV. This is a huge challenge and it's still early days but the progress has been remarkable."
