For many years, clinicians debated the best time to start
antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV infection, with some worrying that the risks of treatment in terms of drug toxicities could outweigh the benefits of
controlling the virus.
People living with human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV — even those whose infection is well

antiretroviral therapy, alone or in combination with broadly neutralising antibodies and / or T - cell vaccines, to achieve HIV eradication.
While it does not fully eradicate the virus, this strategy find precedence in a small group of individuals termed «elite controllers» who are able to
