Locating Hiding Places Can Lead To New HIV Treatment

Canadian researchers have located the HIV hiding place in the body. A
long-lived immune system cell was reported as the refuge place for
HIV.

Until now researchers hadn't known of these areas, but a Canadian
research team has discovered where these HIV reservoirs are. The new
findings mean that stronger and more anti viral drugs are not the
answer.

Discovering these hiding places can lead to new treatment or even
eradicating the disease.
