The study, conducted by a team featuring Barbara Ensoli, the head of Italian Higher Health Institute's National HIV/AIDS Research Center, showed the virus reservoir was down by 90% after eight years. The paper concluded that Tat immunization represents a promising pathogenesis-driven intervention to intensify cART efficacy while renewing perspectives for a functional cure.
