Built upon a published study from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), researchers from the University of the Philippines (UP) Manila are investigating the antiretroviral properties of a plant extract in a promising step towards potentially finding treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 

Among the major challenges in treating HIV is viral latency, or the ability of the virus to be in a resting (latent) state, evading detection by the immune system and current HIV medications called antiretroviral therapies (ART).
