Why can we get HIV to a viral load of 0 but can’t get rid of the virus?
In: 1087
When HIV infects a cell, it basically hijacks the cell. It fuses together with it. Then it hijacks the machinery to replicate. All the drugs do is interfere with this replication. It’s much harder to get rid of HIV from those cells, and you don’t want to get rid of all those cells, because those cells are your immune system.
