1- Coral reefs provide potent new anti-HIV proteins
----------------------------------------"A new class of proteins capable of blocking the HIV virus from penetrating T-cells has been discovered. The proteins, found in a coral from Australia's northern coast, could be well-suited for use in gels or sexual lubricants to provide a potent barrier against HIV infection, potentially filling a pressing need for a female-applied anti-HIV microbicide that doesn't rely on a man's willingness to use a condom." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Low cholesterol in immune cells tied to slow progression of HIV "People infected with HIV whose immune cells have low cholesterol levels experience much slower disease progression, even without medication, according research that could lead to new strategies to control infection. The researchers found that low cholesterol in certain cells, which is likely an inherited trait, affects the ability of the body to transmit the virus to other cells." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

For more than 5 years Timothy Brown hasn't been taking any anti retro viral drugs and no relevant HIV RNA traces have been found on him. But the amount of tests he's been submitted and some statements from inconclusive analysis have brought him into bad situations.

"Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and using some of the nation's most powerful supercomputers, teams of researchers are pushing the limits of what we know about HIV, and how we can treat it."

Interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci on "Mississippi Baby"
In an important announcement on Thursday July 10, 2014, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that the child know as the "Mississippi Baby"- an infant seemingly cured of HIV after treatment had been initiated within hours of birth-now has detectable levels of HIV after more than two years of not taking antiretroviral therapy without evidence of the virus. To learn more AIDS.gov sat down Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and asked him to share with us what this development means for our understanding of the intricacies of HIV infection and how it may affect HIV research efforts moving forward. http://blog.aids.gov/2014/07/interview-with-d...-on-mississippi-baby.html |
