HIV infects helper T cells by means of a protein embedded in its envelope called gp120. The gp120 protein binds to a molecule called CD4 on the surface of the helper T cell, an event that initiates a complex set of… read more

Isolation and blocking will lead to a functional cure but not the actual cure. Maybe in 20 years science will finally figure out how to stop viruses and actually destroying them. Right now science can only block entries to replicate.
