I despair at current medical science. 30 people for 3 days, unblinded [1], and this is considered of significance? On top of this the whole study is probably unethical since the participants can’t have gained any benefit.<p>The whole idea seems to have no chance given the results of this study [2, 3].<p>1. <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhiv/article/PIIS2352-3018(15)00226-X/abstract" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhiv/article/PIIS2352-30...</a><p>2. <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lanhiv/PIIS2352-3018(14)70014-1.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lanhiv/PIIS2352-3018(...</a><p>3. <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhiv/article/PIIS2352-3018(14)00009-5/fulltext" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhiv/article/PIIS2352-30...</a>
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see evidence that this is the latent HIV <i>leaving</i> its hidden reservoirs (and making all of it instances vulnerable to treatment) rather than just <i>reproducing</i> more virus copies into the bloodstream while remaining in the hidden reservoirs.
