HIV cure

摘要

An infant born with HIV has been "functionally cured", a multi-institute team reported on 3 March at a conference on retroviruses in Atlanta, Georgia. The child received a combination of antiviral drugs within 30 hours of birth and for the next 18 months, at which point doctors lost track of the infant for 10 months and treatment ceased. blood tests found no sign of the virus. Quick treatment, the doctors believe, prevented the formation of dormant infected cells in which the virus can persist. It is the first time that a cure has been reported in a child with HIV.
