Where this comes from

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.
