Is "eliminates" the right word here? My reading of the article abstract is that the treatment kills virus particles and in higher doses, the macaques showed increased white blood counts. But that's not to say that the monkeys are cured. Maybe "reduces viral load" might be a better phrasing?

It's quite possible that "eliminates" is not the right word, but I had a difficult time fitting all the relevant information into the title while remaining under HN's 80-character limit. The phrase that I would have preferred to use was "effectively removes".
