Cancerous cells and HIV virus multiply in a similar way, both express the same molecules.Certain cancer therapies, like checkpoint inhibitors, could successfully treat HIV.
HIV and cancer patients need strong immune systems to fight diseases; strong immune system can reduce spread of tumours in cancer patients and subdued deadly virus in HIV patients.
Cancer treatment could clear HIV virus, by activating HIV that lies dormant in the patients' cells, because the present HIV drug is unable to detect and kill hidden virus.
Checkpoint inhibitors support the immune system in its fight against cancer, this kind of drug may also activate HIV that lies dormant in cells, and strengthen the immune system to kill the virus.
