Scientists in China believe they have found a functional cure to HIV that can control the virus and eliminate infected cells in the bodies of HIV position mice. If the same results translate to humans, it could serve as an effective way to both protect from the virus and treat those already infected.

A team of researchers, led by Chen Zhiwei from Hong Kong University, revealed their latest research into HIV treatment in a study published online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Reuters reported. The team gave mice a new type of antibody that controlled levels of HIV in their bodies.
