And yes latent is a better term and no that isn't what I was referring to. I was referring to the early (way back) assumption that HIV, once contracted, laid dormant for years before attacking the body and becoming AIDS. This of course was shown to be complete hogwash. Yet it was a working assumption for years.
And yes I read the article you mentioned and another that was bit more hopeful on the subject. I'll see if I can find it.
