Toroazul86, the article suggests that shock and kill tactic with current ARVs in these circumstances will continue to help but will have limited effectiveness - because the current ARVs are still not taking out all of the viable infected cells. The implication seems to be that work has to be further done to create ARVs that attack the viable infected cells only - not wasting the ARVs killing the supposedly harmless provirus cells as well.
