One of the many challenges with existing HIV
therapies is that a dormant version of the virus is always in the background, ready
to attack the immune system as soon as treatment is interrupted. Now, new
research suggests that treatment with two anti-HIV antibodies immediately after
infection enables the immune system to effectively control the virus,
preventing its return for an extended period. The two drugs used in the
study, 3BNC117 and 10-1074, belong to a class of molecules called broadly neutralizing
antibodies, discovered in the same lab in studies of "elite
controllers," people whose immune systems have a rare ability to fight off
the virus with each antibody binding to a different site of the virus,
preventing its damaging effects from different angles. "This form of therapy can induce potent immunity to HIV,
allowing the host to control the infection, it works by taking advantage of the
immune system's natural defenses, like what happens in some forms of cancer immunotherapy”
says Michel Nussenzweig, head researcher on the project. The research
was conducted in macaque monkeys, using a model of HIV infection called simian-human
immunodeficiency virus. Although this model does not precisely mimic human HIV
infection, the findings suggest that immunotherapy should be explored as a way
of controlling the virus and boosting an immune response that can control the
infection in people.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
