"Yes, I am aware of the 'kick and kill approach.' This is a one-two combination of activating latent HIV infected cells followed by targeting the infected cells for elimination. If this is successful, it could lead to some great advances in curing HIV. It does require strict laboratory monitoring."

Interviewers do not expect you have a perfect understanding of every trial or every bit of information that is available. If you are asking about something that you are not familiar with, say so, but show an interest in learning. This tells the interviewer that you are not intimidated by those who may know a little more than you and that you are willing to learn, which is what research is about.
