Mono...What...

 

This piece is about  monoclonal antibodies & there use in preventing HIV.  I've blogged about these antibodies before, but as a treatment, not a form of PrEP.  At this point, the approach only works if the antibody & viral strain match.  Currently, 70% of the time, they didn't.  Even if they do, the prevention rate is only 75%.  

This may be ready for wide application, but the research is important.  It may add to HIV research or other viruses, such as COVID-19.   Research often provides unexpected outcomes & applications. Give this a read.
