This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is for researchers focused on identifying effective HIV cure strategies. The primary purpose is to explore interventions that can be administered at the crucial time of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) initiation or upon restarting cART following an analytical treatment interruption (ATI). The ultimate objective of these studies is to achieve sustained treatment-free remission in individuals with HIV. This opportunity aims to support innovative research that moves beyond current management approaches, paving the way for definitive long-term solutions for people living with HIV. The department seeks proposals that demonstrate strong scientific merit and a clear pathway toward novel therapeutic approaches to eliminate the viral reservoir.
