This medication boosts traditional anti-HIV drugs enabling them to develop a crystal structure which are then encased in fat-soluble particles. According to researchers, the new drug has the ability to slip through membranes of cells where the virus hide and destroy them before they develop into AIDS. The drug also prevents multiplication of the virus in the body. The new vaccine will apply a ‘block approach’ in stopping the virus from attaching itself onto cells. The virus attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells. Do you have an inspirational story you would like us to publish?
