Future approaches to clearing the latent human immunodeficiency virus reservoir: Beyond latency reversal

Conclusion: Future approaches to clearing the latent reservoir may bypass latency reversal through the use of drugs that selectively induce apoptosis in infected cells. Several classes of these pro-apoptotic drugs have shown promise inin vitro andex vivo studies, and may represent the basis of a future functional cure for HIV.
