A five-day course of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin appears to somehow activate replication-competent HIV in the resting CD4+ cells of patients on HAART, ultimately leading to a reduction in those patients' latent HIV reservoirs, according to the results of a nine-patient study presented by Magnus Gisslén, M.D., Ph.D.
