HAART therapy is widely used in the US to treat HIV-infected individuals. This treatment is quite effective at inhibiting HIV replication, thereby preventing the progression to AIDS. However, HAART treatment is unable to completely eradicate all viral stores; consequently, patients must remain on this treatment indefinitely, as cessation of treatment leads to a rapid rebound in viral replication. One additional important side benefit of HAART treatment is its ability to:
A) Block HIV binding to CD4
B) Block HIV binding to CCR5
C) Greatly reduce HIV transmission
D) Stimulate CD4 T cell development in the thymus
E) Block viral reactivation from latency
