“Advances in treatment of HIV infection have enabled us to manage disease, but have not relieved the demand on patients to continue chronic therapy, suffer side effects of those treatments, and risk HIV-associated diseases including cancer,” said Dr. Pauza. “We at AGT have developed a genetic medicine treatment strategy that we believe could lead to a functional cure.
