A clue to unprecedented strategy to HIV eradication: “Lock-in and apoptosis”

Abstract Despite the development of antiretroviral therapy against HIV, eradication of the virus from the body, as a means to a cure, remains in progress. A “kick and kill” strategy proposes “kick” of the latent HIV to an active HIV to eventually be “killed”. Latency-reverting agents that can perfor...
