Key genes identified in HIV fight
523469
The key genes which lead the body&#39;s fight against HIV infection have been pinpointed by scientists. The work provides a greater understanding of how some people can survive symptom free for years, while others rapidly develop Aids.

A chemical specially designed to thwart how the AIDS virus invades during sex offers scientists a new lead in the long quest for a vaginal gel that women could apply to protect themselves when men don't use a condom.    The experimental drug isn't ready for human testing yet, but it provided potent protection to female monkeys exposed to large amounts of an AIDS virus, researchers reported Thursday in the journal Science...

The AIDS virus has hideouts deep in the immune system that today's drugs can't reach. Now scientists finally have discovered how HIV builds one of those fortresses Â and they're exploring whether a drug already used to fight a parasite in developing countries just might hold a key to break in.

Among HIV-infected adults who have not been previously treated with HIV drugs who start on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), less than perfect adherence to medication schedules and high levels of HIV in the blood before therapy are two major predictors of drug resistance.
