Testing a new combo to shrink hidden HIV
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new combination of two drugs to see if they can reduce the 'hidden' HIV that stays in your body even when you're on regular HIV treatment. The goal is to work toward a cure, not just control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have HIV.
- Your viral load has been under 50 for the past year (usually 'undetectable').
- You've been on the same HIV medication for over a year.
- Your CD4 count is at least 200 (in the last 3 months).
- You don't have active infections other than HIV, like hepatitis B or C.

This study tests whether giving two experimental drugs together can help your immune system find and destroy hidden HIV cells. It aims to see if this approach can reduce the amount of virus in your body even while you're on your regular HIV medications.
This study tests whether giving very high doses of your current HIV meds can flush out hidden HIV that stays in the body even when the virus is undetectable. It might help find a way to reduce or eliminate the reservoir of latent HIV.
This study tests whether combining two or more investigational drugs that can activate the hidden HIV reservoir in your body might help eliminate it. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and could help lead to a cure for HIV.
This trial tests whether combining immune-boosting drugs with chidamide (a medication that may wake up hidden HIV) can help your body control HIV without daily antiretroviral therapy. It aims to achieve a 'functional cure,' meaning the virus stays suppressed even after stopping regular HIV meds.
This study tests a new long-acting HIV medication taken by mouth that may allow you to switch from your current daily pill. It is for people who have had an undetectable HIV viral load for at least 6 months and are currently on a stable HIV treatment.
This trial tests a new combination of three medications, lenacapavir, teropavimab, and zinlirvimab, for people with HIV who currently have undetectable virus levels on a stable oral treatment. The goal is to see if these drugs can keep the virus suppressed, possibly allowing a simpler treatment plan.
