Interesting you should mention that Jem, scientists are working to understand how latent viruses hide from our adaptive immune response, and whether there are any vulnerabilities that might be exploited to make them visible, so that we can kill them all.
It’s the Holy Grail, they need to know how to purge the 'latent reservoir' in order to waken a 'sleeping' virus.
