TheBodyPro overview
Though a scalable HIV cure remains elusive, research featured at this year’s Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) brought us some important steps forward. Many of these came via an oral abstract session, an event that is typically reserved for the hottest findings presented at the meeting. This year’s CROI cure session offered new insights into the HIV reservoir, how to awaken it, and how to prime the immune system to attack it.
“I think what we are seeing is lots of small baby steps, and I think sometimes that’s as important as the ‘Great Leap Forward,’” said John Frater, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., professor of infectious diseases at the University of Oxford, during a breakfast learning session.
TheBodyPro spoke with Frater as well as Katharine Bar, M.D., associate professor of medicine at University of Pennsylvania, about some of their key takeaways. Frater and Bar are both members of the CROI 2026 Scientific Program Committee.
