Abstract

HIV is the most dreadful disease that has become the cause of death to thousands of people from the day it got introduced to the human body. It is a disease of human immune system that turns fatal with the weakening of this system and causes AIDS. HIV weakens the immune system by depleting CD4+ T cells making the body prone to other opportunistic infections. Of the two HIV forms found, HIV-1 has been reported to be more virulent than the HIV-2. In the today’s world scientists and doctors are using therapeutic vaccines, gene therapy, immune based therapies or combination of such few techniques to treat HIV patients. This paper reviews how few patient were reported to cure of HIV by advanced developing techniques and focuses on how these cures made scientists to think of other alternate treatment methods and recently are found to report special antibodies that works against the HIV virus. A team of researchers reported that cell’s DNA repairing machinery can be used to destroy HIV virus. Development of HIV resistant cells and other developing methods are seems promising to provide this world a feasible cure to HIV.
