新的技术可促进更有效的艾滋病(AIDS)治疗方法的研发。当研究人员提供强有力的抗 HIV 药物的鸡尾酒疗法——HAART(高效抗逆转录病毒疗法)时,他们希望能发现一种可使机体最终摆脱HIV 的方法,但这是不可能的。实际上,HIV 在体内隐藏得极深,处于一种休眠而无法察觉的和不会受到攻击影响的状态;当 HAART 设法使 HIV 陷入绝境时,病毒仍有相当的能力择机隐匿复制并严重破坏机体的免疫系统。 New technologies can promote the development of more effective AIDS treatments. When researchers offer hasty anti-HIV medications, HAART (high-potency antiretroviral therapy), they hope to find a way to eventually get the body out of HIV, but that’s not possible. In fact, HIV is so deeply hidden in the body that it is in a state of dormant and undetectable and uninfluenced by the attack; the virus remains quite capable of hiding and copying and severely damaging the body when HAART manages to put the HIV in dire straits The immune system.
