Drear & Possibilities...

 

Let's start with, May Sucks!  I haven't felt much like myself for weeks & probably won't the rest of May.  It's still raining & looks to all day.  It at  least made  the monthly rain average.  Still, May Sucks!

I found an interesting  article this  morning. It was very vague, so I won't cite it.   The idea was novel.   The research was attempting to develop an method where the meds given to HIV+ people might approach the virus in a different  way.  Focused more on weakening the virus than eliminating it. 

This wasn't being presented as a cure all.  It proposed the idea of treating HIV so  it was driven so far back, it'd  take significant time for the virus to reemerge.  Therefore,  lessening to need for daily regimen of antivirals.  Perhaps after  a month on this type of  treatment, the virus would be dormant for several months.  Then the meds could be reintroduced.  Followed by another  period of  dormancy.   It's  not perfect, but possibly better than what we have now.  It might  also be  more achievable than an outright cure.

Cya...
