I’m thrilled to announce a new milestone in our

clinical trial. The data shows blood markers of efficacy in all 5 trial participants, indicating that prospects are bright for a potential one-and-done therapy to functionally cure

#HIV
is no longer a death sentence, but the toxic antiretrovirals that keep people living with HIV alive cause miserable daily side effects like nausea, diarrhea & fatigue. We need a cure, not a treatment.

It has only been a few months since we started our Phase 1 human trial of an autologous cell therapy designed to fight

A cure isn't possible without research. Take a stand with me and support cure research.

Clinical Trial Update: American Gene has hit two major benchmarks in our Phase 1

The latest data from our

What if there was a cure for

? An
#HIVcure
would free people from relying on antiretroviral therapy and give them permanent immunity with no chance of being diagnosed again. Here’s why we should focus on curing diseases like HIV, not just treating them:
The future of this cell and

The intent of our trial is to test a cell &
#genetherapy
that hardens the immune system against

& prevents

without the use of daily antiretrovirals. We hope to protect HIV-specific T cells of HIV+ individuals and suppress the virus naturally.

Did you know? Since AGT103-T is made using free-floating T

in the blood, a simple blood draw makes it possible to create AGT103-T outside the body. Learn more about the process here.

More great news on fighting
