Canadian Study Reveals How HIV Hides in Different Parts of the Body
New Evidence of Tissue-Specific HIV Integration A landmark study from Western University and the University of Calgary reveals a nuanced picture of how HIV hides in the body. By examining tissue-specific patterns of HIV DNA integration, researchers show that the virus does not randomly embed itself in host genomes. Instead, HIV targets particular regions within…

HIV Hides in Body DNA by Tissue Type – Canadian Study
Overview: A tissue-specific look at HIV persistence Researchers from Western University and the University of Calgary have uncovered a new layer of detail about how HIV persists in the human body. Their work shows that the virus does not integrate randomly into the genome. Instead, HIV embeds itself into cell DNA in patterns that vary…

HIV Hides in Tissue-Specific DNA: Canadian Study Maps Viral Reservoirs
Overview: Why the search for HIV reservoirs matters Researchers across Canada have taken a significant step toward understanding why HIV persists despite decades of antiretroviral therapy. A collaborative study led by Stephen Barr at Western University and Guido van Marle at the University of Calgary reveals that HIV does not integrate randomly into the human…
