Don't really know how true this is but a friend jst sent it to me now.

There is a new excitement among scientists about a drug that could flush out HIV from the blood system, thereby providing hope of a cure for millions of carriers of the virus across the world.
At the ongoing 20th international conference on AIDS 2014 in Melbourne, Australia, experts reported that early results of the research tried on six people living with HIV are very “exciting” and are “a promising start”.
Those living with HIV are currently placed on anti-retroviral drugs which can drive the virus to insignificant or undetectable levels in the bloodstream. But while this has led to normal life expectancy in carriers and has even seen HIV-positive persons have children that are free of the virus, the anti-retroviral drugs are not a cure because the virus can still hide in someone’s DNA and be dormant for decades.
It can incorporate its DNA into someone’s and lie beyond the reach of drugs and the immune system. This is known as “HIV reservoir”, making the virus to be regarded as incurable because when the carrier stops using drugs, the virus will come out of the reservoir and continue to attack the body. However, the recent research shows that low-dose chemotherapy can awaken the virus and flush it out of the system ─ meaning HIV may now be curable as it will no longer have a hiding place in the body.

The result of this research is considered a promising start, although experts are cautious to announce an outright cure because of certain obstacles. Scientists have been concentrating efforts on developing a drug that would flush the virus out of the system completely and make HIV curable.

Hope it works out well. Current facts states that in order to completely eradicate HIV from an infected patient, it will require complete inhibition of viral replication in all cell lines and body stores where the virus resides. But the problem is that some cell lines have shorter half-lives than others and some long infected T-cells with half-lives lasting more than 6 to 44 months have been identified hence this may require complete suppression of the virus for about 60 years or more. Another problem is that the virus resides in sites that achieve low antiretroviral concentrations such as the central nervous system. So once therapy is discontinued, these sites theoretically release unaffected virions and re-populate the host. Nevertheless, we keep hope alive.
