HIV cure possible after disease becomes undetectable in blood of British man
HIV cure possible after disease becomes undetectable in blood of British man
The trial is being undertaken by researchers from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London and King's College London.HIV is so difficult to treat because it targets the immune system, splicing itself into the DNA of T-cells so that they not only ignore the disease, but turn into viral factories which reproduce the virus.Current treatments, called anti-retroviral therapies (Art), target that process but they cannot spot dormant infected T-cells.

A new treatment appears to have erased HIV from a patient's blood
A new treatment appears to have erased HIV from a patient's blood
The first of 50 patients to complete a trial for a new HIV treatment in the UK is showing no signs of the virus in his blood.The initial signs are very promising, but it's too soon to say it's a cure just yet: the HIV may return, doctors warn, and the presence of anti-HIV drugs in the man's body mean it's difficult to tell whether traces of the virus are actually gone for good.That said, the team behind the trial – run by five British universities and the UK's National Health Service – says we could be on the brink of defeating HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) for real.

HIV research scientist found dead after staying late to freeze blood with liquid nitrogen, inquest hears
A scientist was found dead the morning after he had stayed late in a laboratory working with freezing liquid nitrogen, an inquest heard.Damian Bowen, 32, was discovered by colleagues at the HIV laboratory connected to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, in west London, five years ago.The geneticist and biomedical scientist was working alone as he used a flask of liquid nitrogen to freeze samples of blood, the jury inquest at the Royal Courts of Justice heard.
