The road to finding a functional cure for HIV

It's amazing what medical science is doing these days, and none more than in the leaps and bounds in finding a functional (and hopefully affordable) cure for HIV. Can you imagine how it would be if we could pour even more funding into this and other medical lines of research?

Possible antibody that can neutralize most HIV strains

Exciting possibilities in the fight against HIV/AIDS. To quote:

"Scientists have identified an antibody from an HIV-infected person that potently neutralized 98 percent of HIV isolates tested, including 16 of 20 strains resistant to other antibodies of the same class. The remarkable breadth and potency of this antibody, named N6, make it an attractive candidate for further development to potentially treat or prevent HIV infection, say the researchers."
