Killing HIV Jul 7, 2004 I thought viruses could never be killed. How come someone's viral load goes down with HAART? What happens to all that HIV? It can go from 1 million to undetectable. If it's not killed what happens to it? |

 Yes, contrary to popular opinion, viruses are not immortal. Certainly some viruses are tougher than others and can live inhospitable environments. HIV can be killed by antiretroviral medications and angry T cells. | ||||||||
