A new hope? Lymphoma Drug Wakes Up Dormant HIV Mar 22, 2009 A drug approved to treat lymphoma, Zolinza (vorinostat, SAHA) can wake up CD4 cells latently infected with HIV and render them vulnerable to antiretroviral (ARV) medication, according to a study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry and reported by EurekAlert. Activating these dormant cells is a goal for researchers who hope to find ways to either eradicate the virus or help the body control HIV infection without ARV therapy. Could be a new hope for us. Any thoughts? |

 Perhaps. But more studies will have to be done in HIV infected people to determine whether this is a safe strategy. | ||||||||
