One of the major barriers to finding a cure for HIV is the ability to count how much latent virus persists inside the cells of a person living with HIV who is on effective treatment. Drs. Janet and Robert Siliciano shared the current challenges & strategies to measuring the latent HIV reservoir.

Introduction to Cure Research
In the wake of exciting new data presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Atlanta, AVAC hosted a webinar to review the current status on research towards an HIV/AIDS cure.
The webinar featured Steven Deeks, MD, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who discussed the latest research and what to look forward to in coming years, followed by a Q&A.
In addition, Science Speaks has a great overview of the webinar. Read “As headlines raise hopes, cure researchers manage expectations and challenges.”

When Cure Means Control
An introduction to viral control off therapy
Tuesday, March 28 at 9:00 am ET
As the number of cure-related clinical trials grows, so does the number of people experiencing month-long delays in viral rebound. A very small handful of participants remain off therapy long after the trial ends. These individuals who can control HIV without therapy after an intervention are known as controllers.
This webinar will:
- Introduce the concept of viral control off therapy
- Provide a platform to ask experts questions on HIV control
- Introduce key issues advocates should be following
Featuring Jon LI, Harvard University; Marina Caskey, Rockefeller University; Ann Chahroudi, Emory School of Medicine, Josephine Nabukenya, EGPAF Board Member and IAS Governing Council Member, and moderated by Jessica Salzwedel, AVAC
