Find out how to block HIV virus from developing AIDS

Scientist David Harrich of Australia's Queensland Institute of Medical Research has found a way to prevent HIV virus from developing into AIDS, opening new directions in an effort to seek treatment for this century's disease.

In the article published in the journal "Human gene therapy" published on January 16, Mr. Harrich announced that it has successfully transformed a protein in the HIV virus that this virus needs to replicate.

The new protein (altered), which he named Nullbasic , works to hinder the development of HIV virus.

In an experimental environment, Nullbasic is more likely to block the development of HIV, so it may have a strong impact on controlling the AIDS virus or treating HIV-infected patients.

Harrich said that when using new proteins for HIV-infected patients, the virus will "sleep" , not spread, so patients can maintain a healthy immune system for a long time without using complex treatment regimens are using many current drugs.

He said the new animal protein tests will be conducted this year and if his research is successful, the world can use this "toxic poison" method to treat people with AIDS. .

According to the latest UN statistics, the number of people living with HIV in the world increased from 33.5 million in 2010 to 34 million in 2011.

The majority of HIV-infected patients live in southern Sahara (up to 23.5 million) of Africa, and about 4.2 million other patients live in South and Southeast Asia countries.
