WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Medical researchers are hopeful of a cure for HIV after treating the first patient with a new treatment with the potential to eradicate the virus completely.
The treatment is the result of a partnership between the National Institute for Health Research in Britain and other leading medical research organizations. The collaboration, known as the Collaborative HIV Eradication of viral Reservoirs, is comprised of clinicians, virologists, and immunologists.
