The current therapeutic strategy for established HIV infection is
to control viral replication with combination antiretroviral drugs.
This approach has limitations as it does not restore health and
as many individuals have trouble accessing and/or adhering
to these drugs on indefinite manner. Recognizing the need
for a therapy that is short-term and scalable, there is intense
interesting in potentially curative approaches. There are now a
number of potential cure strategies being tested in pre-clinical
animal models, with several now advancing into phase I human
clinical trials. The status of these approaches will be summarized.
