Elimination of Latent HIV

Clinical trial using interferon and a TLR3 agonist (rintatolimod) singly and in combination in HIV subjects well controlled with anti-retroviral drugs. Both clinical and lab opportunities in a country with a 10% HIV infection rate (clade C HIV). 

Clinical trial project in planning phase with University of Capetown and industry (Bioclones (SA), Hemispherx Biopharma (US)). I expect it to be initiated prior to summer 2017.
