The end of HIV infections may be closer than we think.

Scientists cut HIV out of immune cells using CRISPR.

And the cells stayed HIV-free even after re-exposure. A cure could finally be within reach.

In a groundbreaking advance, scientists at Temple University have successfully used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to eliminate HIV-1 DNA from the genomes of human immune cells.

Unlike existing treatments that suppress the virus, this method completely removes the genetic blueprint of HIV from infected T-cells.

Living with HIV can bring important decisions during pregnancy.
It affects more than your immune system, the right care can help reduce the risk of transmission to your baby.
