Patients with AIDS have the HIV virus under control, through aggressive therapy called HAART, although the virus present in the body is not detectable. And when they stop taking therapy drugs, the virus reproduces again. This means that there are few specimens of viruses that remain in some dens. Now, researchers at the John Hopkins University of the United States have found that this deposit is HPC cells of bone marrow, cells that intervene in the blood production process.
