A groundbreaking discovery could bring us closer to a cure for HIV. Scientists at Ulm University Hospital have identified a natural human protein, RBP4 — known for transporting vitamin A — that can reactivate dormant HIV hiding inside immune cells. This hidden form of HIV is one of the biggest challenges to finding a cure. But now, researchers have shown that RBP4, when bound to vitamin A, triggers a key immune pathway (NF-κB) that brings the virus out of hiding — making it vulnerable to treatment.

This discovery opens up exciting new possibilities for a “shock-and-kill” approach to HIV, where the virus is awakened and destroyed. And the best part? RBP4 works at natural levels already present in the body.

Could this be the missing piece in the HIV cure puzzle? Watch to find out.
