Australian scientists visualize HIV, advancing cure research

Scientists have developed a method to make the HIV virus visible within infected cells, potentially paving the way for a cure. This breakthrough offers new hope in the fight against HIV. Researchers used mRNA technology, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, to deliver instructions to infected cells, revealing the hidden virus. This allows for detection of the virus, which has been a major obstacle in HIV treatment. The discovery was made by a team in Australia. The ability to detect the virus could allow the immune system to fight it or be combined with other treatments. Further research is needed, but the discovery could also have implications for other diseases.
