Researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne have demonstrated a way to make the virus visible.

It is based on mRNA technology, which came to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic when it was used in vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer /BioNTech.

The researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble.
