How HIV Can Persist in the Body for Years due to Myeloid Cells
A recent study has shed new light on the ability of HIV to persist in the body for years, even when a person is receiving treatment. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have identified a particular cell type called myeloid cells that can harbor the virus for long periods of time, even after the virus has been suppressed in other areas of the body. This finding could have implications for treatments of HIV in the future, as well as implications for other chronic diseases.
