HIV cure only months away, Danish scientists say, citing novel new DNA treatment.

Danish scientists believe they may have a cure for HIV "within months."

Researchers at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark are testing a new technique that involves flushing the virus from so-called reservoirs in human DNA.

The virus is then destroyed naturally by the body's immune system, The London Telegraph reported.

They are expecting results to show that "finding a mass-distributable and affordable cure to HIV is possible".
