Abstract
As discovered herein, using miRNAs having high homology with both HIV-1 and a co-infecting virus such as HHV-6, HHV-7, or GVB-C, one can inhibit viral replication, more particularly HIV-1 replication using such mutually homologous miRNAs that give rise to the creation of stable triplex formations effective in the downregulation and/or inhibition of viral replication.
