Are there any other treatments for human immunodeficiency virus?

Research is ongoing on injectable long-acting ARVs that are administered only every 1–2 months, rather than as a daily tablet, as well as implants that could last a year. Although neither of these treatments are currently available, they will likely be an option in the future. ^[1] Recent reports note that, 5 people appear to be in remission from HIV after stem cell transplants that were given for other reasons. This is exciting news and offers hope for an eventual cure for HIV, but much more research must be done to determine whether it is practical and safe. ^[2]
