Brief description Current drug therapy for HIV is for life We have discovered a set of molecules that will turn off the ability of HIV to reproduce itself. These molecules are from a new family of RNA molecules . A single dose of these molecules suppress the ability of the virus to reproduce itself for more than a month. Further we have found ways of extending this supressive ability to greater than one year. These studies will tell us how these molecules work and how they might be effectively administered.
