Cindy Gay, MD, MPH, David Margolis, MD, and the UNC HIV Cure Center have launched two ambitious studies that are poised to advance HIV Cure science closer to ending the epidemic. The first uses highly engineered antibody-like molecules to help the immune system find and clear HIV‑infected cells, uniting UNC with research partners in Kenya and the U.S. Military HIV Research Program. The second, is testing a brand‑new drug (IAP 086) with a novel mechanism designed to awaken the hidden HIV reservoir.

Join the UNC CFAR and the NIH in honoring National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on February 7th! Since 1999, this day has highlighted the importance of community engagement and improved access to HIV education, prevention, testing, and treatment services. While progress have been made in the areas of prevention, care, and treatment, HIV/AIDS continues to disproportionately impact Black and African American individuals. This day raises awareness of the continued work that is needed to improve access to prevention and care and reduce health disparities related to HIV. Use the hashtag on social media to learn more and honor the day.

A new study, published in Annals of Internal Medicine and led by Joe Eron, MD, Director of the CFAR Clinical Core, found that a new once-weekly oral HIV treatment regimen of islatravir plus lenacapavir (ISL + LEN) achieved virologic suppression through 48 weeks. These findings suggest that a once-weekly oral HIV treatment regimen could help reduce barriers associated with adhering to a daily pill for people living with HIV. Dr. Joe Eron discussed, “People living with HIV deserve options that work not only medically, but practically. Daily pills are effective, but they’re not the right fit for everyone. Seeing such strong suppression with a once‑weekly regimen is incredibly encouraging. It suggests we may be able to offer patients a simpler approach that still delivers the control they need.”
