Summary

Although combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality, it still fails to eradicate HIV. Given the difficulty for eradication of HIV, functional cure is more likely to achieve the goal. In recent breakthrough scientific reports, there already existed several examples of HIV-infected cases achieving the status of functional cure only through early administration of cART in newborns or early infected cases. From Taiwan centers for disease control (CDC) reports and our clinical experiences, more and more young men got HIV infection and the most important finding is the investigators can find some of them are newly infected, let's say, within six months.
