Abstract
The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
has brought about a dramatic decline in opportunistic infections, hospitalizations, and
mortality in AIDS patients. However, the recent discovery that HIV can lay dormant in
quiescent T cells and other tissues even in the face of HAART therapy has dampened
optimism for a cure for AIDS, though it suggests new avenues of research.
