HIV Cure and Being Healthy

The HIV cure is still in the lab; this issue has given the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sleepless nights. However, where the research has reached, people living with HIV/AIDs need not stress themselves because different organizations are on the research day and night.

 However, American Gene Technologies (AGT) has also been at the forefront of researching how to repair the cells of an HIV-infected person. AGT103-T is the solution the AGT developed to restore the CD4 T cells. AGT, through its research, has finally succeeded in doing a phase one trial.

The first phase report indicates that cells from individuals that were tested, a modified (modified with AGT103-T) T-cell product was tolerated in a manner that gave them hope. The T cell persisted in the body, and they were very ready to respond to HIV. These data have been published in frontiers.

The final phase one trial report is being made and expected to be submitted to the FDA. However, plans to undertake phase two are underway. Usually, phase two is always subjected to a large audience; then, if the results are pleasing, phase 3 comes in.

In conclusion, patients who are HIV positive need to be hopeful because very soon, the cure for HIV is coming out. I would also advise these patients to keep taking ARVs so that they delay the viral load in their bodies; this will ensure that they have lived long enough to meet the HIV cure that is under investigation.
