After yesterday's post, I realized there are resources on sites like Facebook & X I've never mentioned, like HIVgov on Facebook. There are many more on both platforms, like living with HIV 50+, just google your interest area concerning HIV & the social media sites. A search for HIV & your area, might find resources pages for things near you.
The newer topic is with this article. Recently there's been a lot of posting about ART-Free HIV remission. ART (antiretroviral therapy) has been in the forefront HIV & varied in their methods. This newer approach would like to employ BNAB or Broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies to suppress the virus throughout the body. From what's been posted so far, it would be more like limited ART than ART-Free. ARTs are too good at limiting the viral load not to employ to give the BNAB a shot at doing their job. This could also be combined with long acting ART injections.
This is still in the research stage, but it is a step. Sometimes steps are all we can take. Hopefully they can trudge this bit forward & hold their ground until the next step can be taken. Approaches like this could further the fight against HIV & may even lead to possible cure someday.
Take care.
Cya....
