Aids has almost been cured.
Yesterday, a research team from Rutgars university, announced a treatment for the HIV virus, called R278474, which stops the virus from getting into human cells.
"Researchers from Rutgers University are expressing optimism over a trio of HIV drugs they have developed that could possibly destroy the AIDS-causing virus. According to a prepublished report in the electronic edition of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the drugs, known as R278474, have the potential to interfere with an enzyme that HIV needs to copy and insert itself into human cells. Tests show the drugs can be taken in the form of one pill that is easily absorbed with minimal side effects, the Associated Press reported.
"We're on to something very, very special," said chemist Eddy Arnold, who led the research team.
The research team, which is partnered with Johnson & Johnson subsidiary companies, has targeted reverse transcriptase, a submicroscopic protein that is a key protein in HIV.
"If you can really inhibit reverse transcriptase, you can stop AIDS," said Dr. Stephen Smith, the head of the department of infectious diseases at St. Michael's Medical Center in Newark, N.J.
The full research will be published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry early next year."
Finally a couple of people that deserve to live.......
