These articles A & B, are among many the last few days talking about a new approach to fighting HIV. I've been avoiding them for a bit, until some a little less science-y came along. Some jargon laden pieces can sound very compelling when actually stating very little.
The point is that a novel approach to fighting HIV is being researched after a new "desinger" protein was developed. This protein blocks the virus' ability to infiltrate cells & replicate. Without this the virus will not be able to flourish.
They're calling this an alternative to a vaccine. The particulars are still vague. This is still newish. Albeit, it sounds promising, it isn't a sure thing yet. This could still be years away or eventually fail altogether. Not meaning to be a downer, but realism is the best option here. Even if this doesn't work, it could be the thing that opens the door to whatever will.
Cya...
