CLINICAL STUDIES TOWARDS A CURE FOR HIV

抗逆转录病毒药物可降低艾滋病毒感染者的发病率和死亡率，但目前尚无治愈艾滋病毒的方法。我将进行一系列研究，为澳大利亚的艾滋病治疗研究做出贡献。这包括描述新的策略来识别和测量在抑制抗逆转录病毒治疗的个体中残留的休眠HIV，确定癌症药物对休眠HIV的影响，以及探索HIV感染者对治愈研究的态度。

Antiretroviral drugs reduce morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV however there is currently no cure for HIV. I will undertake a series of studies that will contribute to HIV cure research in Australia. This includes describing novel strategies to identify and measure residual dormant HIV in individuals on suppressive antiretroviral therapy, determining the effect of cancer drugs on dormant HIV, and exploring the attitudes of people living with HIV towards cure research.
