Nonetheless, cART alone cannot eliminate viral reservoirs and fully recover patients＇ health, so the patients have to receive this treatment for lifetime. Therefore, researchers have focused their efforts on the cure for HIV infection. In recent years, some intriguing and inspiring cases indicated that the cure of HIV infection （HIV cure） or durable alleviation of HIV infection may not be a dream any more. ＇Berlin Patient＇ ＇Mississippi Baby＇, and probably ＇Long Beach Baby＇ have brought great hope to the HIV cure. Many scientists believe that the HIV cure is just a question of time.The success of combined antiretroviral therapy （cART） has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes of HIV infection and made HIV infection a chronic disease.
