Finding About Anti-Inflammatory Cells Could Lead to New HIV Treatments

POZ : Finding About Anti-Inflammatory Cells Could Lead to New HIV Treatments: "A new study suggests that HIV throws off the balance of two types of inflammation-reducing cells, thus allowing the virus to persist in the body and cause ongoing damage to the immune system. This finding—published May 19 in the journal Science Translational Medicine and announced by researchers at the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF)—could lead to a new generation of effective HIV medications that operate in a completely different manner from current antiretroviral (ARV) drugs."
