Gene therapy using CAR T-cells could provide long-term protection against HIV

Through gene therapy, researchers engineered blood-forming stem cells (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, or HSPCs) to carry chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) genes to make cells that can detect and destroy HIV-infected cells. These engineered cells persisted for more than two years. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/12/171228145216.htm
