How is it they can get ‘viral loads’ down to near undetectable levels but not outright kill off the virus?
In: Biology
HIV hides in your immune system, and there’s currently just no known way of reaching it there. It’s like a safe haven behind our guns where some can always survive and keep making more. We can, however, keep killing the ones that leave that safe haven. We can keep those beaten back effectively enough that there’s never enough to harm you or spread to someone else…. but there’ll always be some hiding away where we can’t get them.
