Achieving a cure has always been central to TAG’s mission. Over the past decade, advances in science and technology have reinvigorated hopes that a cure for HIV infection is possible. The research effort to develop a cure is now ongoing and expanding, and TAG is involved at many levels. TAG’s website offers an array of resources and information on HIV cure research; see links and descriptions below.
