Brief description Current therapy for HIV is effective but must be taken for life. If therapy is stopped the virus comes back immediately from reservoirs not affected by current drugs. These fluctuating levels of virus are associated with increased illness and death. We are exploring a method of inducing prolonged viral latency using short double stranded RNA molecules. We propose to understand the mechanism of action of these possible therapeutics and to develop these constructs towards use in clinical trials.
