Could a cure for HIV be in sight? 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 DNA using a gene editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9.
