The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in the world more than 34 Millions of people have contracted HIV (immune deficiency Virus acquired) in recent years. However, it has not been able to be found its cure up to now. Retrovirals have allowed the infected to keep the virus "controlled" in their organism, that is, they significantly reduce its impact, allowing the defences and antibodies to stay in operation, and avoid "the AIDS phase" that exposes the patient on the verge of death.

In the face of the imperative need and demand for a prompt and timely cure, scientific researchers staff members of the University of Hong Kong (China), claim to have found a functional cure for HIV. Functional cures are those that work like retrovirals, maintaining the virus levels as low as possible but which, in this case, would not be supplied so continuously, and its components would achieve such a low presence of the virus in the blood that might not even be detected by some tests, as if it had been eliminated and its rate of transmission had descended considerably. It is important to clarify that once HIV has been acquired HIV yet and if this functional cure progresses with optimal results, the virus would never be completely eliminated

 

 

 

 

They have been working on a functional HIV/AIDS cure for many years, the problem with curing HIV is the immune system does not naturally detect the virus due to a ENV gene that the immune system does not detect which does not release antigens, which the immune system constructs antibodies from, that are detectable. RTs and INT inhibitors to stop the functioning of the virus have been in use for many years, It would be hard to completely cure the HIV as it is immunostealth. The way they used was a Antibody that makes the Immune system detect infected cells which is one method that would actually work. I am impressed by the Chinese's work on this cure. This would also work on humans to answer your question.
