Scientists have successfully eliminated HIV from infected cells using Crispr gene-editing technology, cutting out the virus from infected T cells in the laboratory. While this breakthrough shows promise for a potential treatment, more research is necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness. Current HIV medications can control the virus but not eradicate it, and the development of a Crispr-based cure for HIV is still years away due to challenges like off-target effects and long-term side effects.
