Scientists Find Antibodies That Thwart Severe AIDS

Written by Instinct Staff | Friday, 04 September 2009

Good news, everyone!

Researchers from the Scripps Institute have isolated antibodies that can block HIV from evolving into severe AIDS. The understandably significant announcement comes after decades of studies failing to do just that, and likely indicates that a vaccine might be possible.

Something celebratory to take with us into the long weekend, right?

I hope this doesn't turn out like the trials in 2007. This has the potential to help improve and prolong so many lives.

If this really is a breakthrough, I hope there is a way to fast track it.
