Researchers Zero In On Protein That Destroys HIV

Julie188 writes with this excerpt from a Loyola University news release: "Using a $225,000 microscope, researchers have identified the key components of a protein called TRIM5a that destroys HIV in rhesus monkeys. The finding could lead to new TRIM5a-based treatments that would knock out HIV in humans, said senior researcher Edward M. Campbell, PhD, of Loyola University Health System."

for another 10 years. The great FDA barrier to entry in the world of drug research. Thanks nanny state!

Yeah, there is always one in every group spouting this lie.

No one believes it, and you're not making us think you have a big dick.

" If the odds were one in 1000 while on either the pill or using condoms, both of us doing our part makes it a 1 in a million chance instead."

And you don't understand math.

Well done, your an idiot and I, for one, welcome you not reproducing.
