Experts may have moved one step closer to curing HIV for good.Researchers in Australia have developed a new treatment that forces hidden fragments of the virus — normally concealed within human cells — to emerge and expose themselves to the immune system. The breakthrough could enable the body, aided by antiviral drugs, to detect and destroy these lingering viral reservoirs. HIV has remained incurable because the virus can integrate itself into a cell’s DNA, lying dormant and undetectable to both medication and immune defenses. But the scientists say they have created a nanoparticle capable of delivering genetic instructions to infected cells, prompting them…
