HIV-AIDS Breakthrough in Israel


The HIV virus


New Israeli treatment kills HIV cells

A new treatment that destroys HIV-infected human cells without damaging healthy ones has been developed by a team of Israeli researchers.

The therapy destroys cells infected with HIV without damaging adjacent healthy cells. It is described in an article published last month in the scientific journal AIDS Research and Therapy.

To date, no [other] therapy has succeeded in completely destroying HIV-infected cells. Current treatments only delay the development of the disease and make it more manageable.
