"Much ado to achieve nothing: prospects for curing HIV infection".

Currently there is significant scientific effort being directed at developing ways to create either a sterilizing cure, or functional cure for HIV infection. Multiple approaches are being evaluated under the broad headings of gene therapy, immune based interventions, and treatments which depend upon HIV reactivation from latency to cause the death of cells which harbor the virus. Molecular and Cellular Therapies (MCT) welcomes all manuscripts devoted to increasing our understanding of determinants of affecting a cure for HIV and mechanistic studies determine the cellular and viral interventions necessary for achieving HIV cure.
