Gold has proven to be an effective tool for treating some diseases, including arthritis and in particular rheumatoid arthritis. Gold salts can improve arthritis symptoms, including painful or tender and swollen joints and morning stiffness as well as reduce the chance of joint deformity and disability.
Gold salts are also being studied as a potential means of reducing the viral reservoir of HIV that lies latent in the body's T-cells even after treatment with antiretroviral therapy. Several other potential uses, which are the subject of ongoing trials, include treatment against tuberculosis, ovarian cancer, and even SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 in cell culture.
