BREAKING NEWS: Possible Cure for Aids Discovered by Australian Scientist
A Scientist in Australia, today, has stumbled upon an important break-through which could ultimately lead to a cure for AIDS, by reprogramming the HIV virus to put it to sleep, indefinitely.
The Researcher and Scientist from Queensland Institute of Medical Research, David Harrich, has explained that he has been able to change and reprogram the protein within the HIV virus which is essentially responsible for the replication that ultimate transforms into AIDS. Instead, he has been able to make it ‘inhibit’ any viral growth at all.
Harrich explained that it was ‘remarkable’ and that the protein was successfully inhibited every time under laboratory conditions. He has named the protein within the HIV virus Nullbasic.
He elaborated further in his paper that the Nullbasic “has unique inhibitory activity, as an antiviral agent against HIV-1 infection.”
A cure for AIDS may have knock on effects such as making multiple drug regimes for HIV patients obsolete whilst also saving huge costs for the health care system and Governments. Not to mention the improved well-being and quality of life for people who are infected with the HIV virus. Though the HIV-1 is still incurable, inhibiting its ability to mutate into AIDS is still one of the most ground-breaking developments in modern medical science.
UN Statistics show today that up to 3.3 Million children under the Age of 15 are currently living with the HIV-1 virus whereas 2011 figures show altogether there are 34 Million people all over the world living with the disease.
Despite this, further data from the UN reveals that fatalities from the virus have dropped from 3.5 Million new infections in 2001, down to 2.5 Million infections in 2011.
The tests were carried out at Queensland Institute of Medical Research, in laboratory conditions and as such animal treatment will begin this year, 2013 with the public release of the HIV treatment not expected yet for another few years.
David Harrich spoke with ABC Radio, saying “You either have to eliminate the virus infection or alternatively you have to eliminate the disease process and that’s what this could do, potentially for a very long time.”
In light of this finding, and that the UN said in November a cure for the disease is ‘becoming increasingly possible’, will 2013 mark the year that modern science finally finds a cure for AIDS?
Dear Readers,
Though not a direct cure for the virus, it still inhibits HIV from turning into AIDS. What are your thoughts on such ground-breaking news?
