Abstract
AIDS is a chronic infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the current treatment for the disease is a combination of highly effective antiretroviral therapy, consisting of a combination of at least three of these drugs to combat HIV infection. However, this therapy only inhibits HIV replication, but does not completely eliminate the virus. Once antiretroviral treatment is interrupted, the patient's disease is prone to relapse. Therefore we need gene editing, which is the process of modifying, adding, deleting and replacing information in the body's DNA in order to modify diseases caused by genetic mutations, which can only be controlled by drugs. It is hoped that in the near future, gene editing technology will revolutionise the treatment of cancer and genetic diseases, thanks to the work of scientists.
