Figure 1. Four main approaches that target the latent reservoir of HIV.

Figure 1.

Four research areas, which reactivate HIV (1. shock), eliminate HIV (2. kill), silence HIV (3. silence), or alter the immune system to resist HIV (4. gene therapy) should contribute to the functional or complete cure of HIV in infected individuals. Within each area are individual components of that therapy. They can be applied individually or in combinations, which should decrease their doses and deleterious effects. Most likely, there will be additional approaches in the future.
