Single experimental shot reduces HIV levels 1000-fold

A study in nonhuman primates found a dramatic decrease in levels of the monkey form of HIV after one shot of Therapeutic Interfering Particles, or TIPs. The study’s results suggest that one TIP shot could prevent a person living with HIV from passing the virus onto anyone else. Results from this research will be used to inform a planned clinical trial in people. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)
