Resumen

Infectious diseases continue to be a major public health problem, in addition to their impact on social and economic dynamics, which can reach global dimensions. At the turn of the millennium, we witnessed two global viral pandemics with a high social impact that exemplify this fact: the AIDS pandemic caused by the HIV-1 lentivirus towards the end of the 20th century and the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the beginning of the 21st century. In this paper we summarize the efforts to find a cure for HIV-1, an infection which can be treated but which lacks a cure intervention that is scalable to all currently infected people.
