HIV antibodies 'have potent impact'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24745611A potential new HIV treatment has a "profound and unprecedented" impact on the virus, according to animal studies published in the journal Nature.
Potent antibodies were able to wipe a hybrid of human and monkey immunodeficiency viruses from the bloodstream of monkeys within days.
The findings could "revolutionise" the search for an HIV cure, say experts.
The US researchers said trials in patients with HIV now needed to take place.
***every time i post HIV breakthrough -- i wonder if the same people who are against treatments like HPV vaccines will encourage people not to get cutting edge HIV treatment?
i guess we'll see in time.
