Advertisement Response from Dr. Frascino Hi, Despite what the article states, this is old news. We have known HIV "hides" in long-lived T-memory cells for quite some time. A number of research programs are already investigating ways to hopefully expose and eventually wipe out this reservoir of HIV. Please note I am not able to comment specifically on every article related to a potential HIV "breakthrough" or possible treatment. (There are literally hundreds and hundreds of these that appear in the lay press around the world.) However, I can promise you that this site will keep you updated on all important HIV research breakthroughs. (We reviewed information about HIV in long-lived memory cells a number of times in the past when this information was presented at important HIV/AIDS medical conferences. You can check it out in the archives!) Be well. Dr. Bob Want to read more questions and answers on this subject? Our experts have answered many similar questions!
