HIV cure hope after UK trial of pioneering virus treatment
12:40pm 2nd October 2016A British man with HIV undergoing a pioneering treatment hopes to become the first in the world to be cured of the virus, it has been reported.Scientists treating the 44-year-old patient said he has shown "remarkable" progress under the therapy, designed to track down and destroy the virus in every part of the body.He is the first of 50 people to complete a trial of the treatment, described as "one of the first serious attempts at a full cure for HIV".HIV is the virus which causes AIDS - which leaves an individual's immune system too weak to be able to fight off infection.

Scientists testing HIV cure report 'remarkable' progress after patient breakthrough
UK scientists and clinicians working on a groundbreaking trial to test a possible cure for HIV infection say they have made remarkable progress after a test patient showed no sign of the virus following treatment.The research, being carried out by five of Britain's top universities with NHS support, is combining standard antiretroviral drugs with a drug that reactivates dormant HIV and a vaccine that induces the immune system to destroy the infected cells.Antiretoviral drugs alone are highly effective at stopping the virus from reproducing but do not eradicate the disease, so must be taken for life.Fifty patients are taking part in the trial.
