Scientists have discovered a breakthrough that could produce a potential cure for AIDS. Professionals from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Australia have reportedly found a way to modify the protein in HIV that protects against infection instead of replicate it, according to Associate Professor David Harrich.
“I consider that this is fighting fire with fire,” Harrich tells Australia’s ABC News. “What we’ve actually done is taken a normal virus protein that the virus needs to grow, and we’ve changed this protein, so that instead of assisting the virus, it actually impedes virus replication and does it quite strongly.”
