High turnover of HIV in blood revealed by new studies

Two research groups discovered that HIV levels do not keep growing in already infected cells. The disease spreads rather by constant infection of new cells. Drugs that only prevent new infections were able to reduce HIV counts in the plasma. Implications include new methods of evaluating AIDS drugs.

Women: absent term in the AIDs research equation

Article Abstract:
