Viral suppression off ART using dual bNAb therapy
The RIO study is looking at whether a new type of treatment can keep viral load undetectable without ART. This will involve asking all participants to stop ART for a short time.
The study will measure how long viral load stays undetectable without ART. It will also look at what happens to the HIV virus and immune system in blood samples. When virus becomes detectable in a blood test (viral rebound) you will be asked to re-start your ART.
