This article is an unusual read. It promotes a study stating bee venom can be used to kill the HIV virus. The hope here seems to be to use this susbtance, melittin, which is found in bee venom, in nano-particle form for so form of preventative gel.
This isn't the 1st place we've heard of nano-particles fighting HIV via prevention. Previously we've mentioned silver being added to condoms to prevent & kill off HIV. Silver sounds slightly less frightening than bee venom though.
This is a curious article. Give it a read, it's brief. It just makes you stop & wonder what they'll come up with next.
Cya...
