While current therapies can successfully manage active infection, the virus can survive in tissue reservoirs \u2013 including macrophage cells, which play an important role in the immune system. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/post\/positivelysharing.wordpress.com\/20268\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>HIV-infected human macrophages co-incubated with a reporter cell line that only expresses GFP when it is infected with HIV-1.
