Nanoparticles can facilitate immunomodulatory therapies, therapeutic vaccines, and advanced gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 in the HIV treatment context.
Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems can improve drug solubility, stability, and targeted delivery to infected cells and viral sanctuary tissues in HIV treatment.
Translation of nanoparticle-based HIV strategies remains limited by nanotoxicity, long-term safety, large-scale GMP manufacturing, regulatory barriers, and cost-effectiveness.
Traditional ART suppresses HIV replication but does not eliminate viral reservoirs and is limited by systemic toxicity, long-term adherence burdens, and incomplete tissue penetration.
