As someone living with HIV and taking Rapamune (mTOR inhibitor) for ME, I thought this was especially interesting:

"Dual suppression of these two complexes by the mTOR inhibitor INK128 suppresses HIV entry and transcription in vitro and inhibits multidrug-resistant HIV in preclinical models"

"...evidence showing that metabolic inhibitors targeting mTOR pathways may have favorable immunomodulatory effects, including enhanced antiviral responses"


As an aside, I thought I'd read that life expectancy of newly diagnosed with HIV is about the same as non-HIV folks - found this article:

Young people on the latest HIV drugs now have near-normal life expectancy because of improvements in treatments...
