There is good news from the health world where researchers say the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can be flushed out of its hiding places in the body using a cancer drug.







Already, the anti-retroviral therapy, kills the virus in the bloodstream, but leaves “HIV reservoirs” untouched.



This latest study shows that the cancer drug is “highly potent” at reactivating hidden HIV.



Experts say the findings are interesting, but it is important to know if the drug is safe in patients.



A strategy known as “kick and kill” is thought to be key to curing HIV. The kick would wake up the dormant HIV, allowing the drugs to kill it.
