New research has revealed how a sequence of two treatments could completely remove the virus in mice.Scientists have edited mice’s genomes and removed HIV completely. The first treatment is a long-acting slow-effective release (LASER) form of antiretroviral therapy.

The second treatment involves the removal of viral Deoxy ribonucleic Acid (DNA)/genetic material using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9.

In a recent Nature Communications paper, the researchers describe how they tested the two-step approach in a mouse model of human HIV. Of the mice that received LASER antiretroviral therapy followed by
