An HIV cure is a high priority for people living with HIV and an essential tool for the HIV response; a curative intervention could overcome the limitations of antiretroviral therapy (ART), limit new HIV transmissions, reduce stigma and discrimination, and provide a sustainable financial solution for end the epidemic. In December 2021, the IAS published the IAS Global Scientific Strategy 2021 (www.nature.com/articles/s4159...) to guide the field toward a widely accessible, acceptable and affordable HIV cure.
