Scientists Expose Weak DNA in HIV
Ace905 writes "The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases announced Thursday that they had discovered a very promising 'weak spot' in the HIV virus. The HIV virus, a progenitor to full blown AIDS has eluded all attempts at a vaccine since it was discovered sometime in the 1970's. The major problem with developing a vaccine initially was isolating the virus. Conventional viruses are often defeated with existing drugs, or after being tested against new compounds. HIV has been unique, and staggering in it's ability to resist all attempts at treatment by mutating its own genetic code. HIV is able to resist, with great effectiveness, any drug or combination drug-therapy that is used against it."
How many "this could be the cure for AIDS/Cancer/Virginity" articles get posted on /. every month?
I'll believe it when the treatment actually gets used to eradicate the disease.
Guess I'll go back to holding my breath.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Over 30 years & only a single weak spot is discovered.
Do you destroy it, or learn to get it to work in your favor ?
