HIV medicines reduce the amount of HIV in the body (the viral load) by preventing the virus from multiplying. A latent HIV reservoir is a group of immune cells in the body that are infected with HIV but are not actively producing new HIV. Many studies have shown that starting ART as soon as possible after HIV infection occurs greatly limits the size of the HIV reservoir that is formed. Because of this finding, researchers are now hopeful that there may be a way to deplete the HIV reservoir completely which would mean there would be no latent cells; no latent cells means no new growth of infection. If you have knowledge of these trials, share it. If you do not, express an interest in learning.

"I have studied some about the effects of early ART on the HIV reservoir. These trials sounds like an exciting next step in finding a cure. I would love to hear more and be a part of the study if there is an open opportunity."

"I have heard about some of these trials but have not yet had a chance to follow any of them personally. With what I do know about how the HIV reservoir is created and the chances of latent cells becoming active again, I would be interested in delving deeper into the subject of reservoir depletion and assist with one of these trials."

I have heard about them but have not followed any. Based on my own knowledge of HIV Reservoir, any study to deplete them would be fascinating to follow. It is certainly a study I would be highly interested in following.
