Petrea said the new treatment will offer a chance to reduce the immunodeficiency viruses present in the blood to an undetectable level.

Petrea said almost all HIV-infected individuals develop multidrug resistance, adding researchers in the field constantly try to create treatments to slow the course of the disease.
