Antibodies vs. HIV

New research has been done to help control the human immunodeficiency virus.  The antibodies come from a rare group of people who are able to hold off the HIV infection.  Studies done on monkeys show that the affects from the antibodies are working progressively better than former strains.  A mixed injection of various antibodies decreased blood concentrations of the virus in the monkeys.  Louis Picker of Oregon Health & Science University in Beaverton and Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco say that the findings are very encouraging.
