Herpes Drug May Slow HIV Progression

New research has revealed that a drug prescribed for patients with herpes can also slow down the progression of HIV-1, preventing the virus from becoming full-blown AIDS.  The effect of the drug, called acyclovir, was studied on almost 3,400 people in Africa who were infected with HIV-1 and herpes simplex virus type 2.

According to the study, conducted in the University of Washington and lead by Dr. Jairam Lingappa, the risk of HIV progression was reduced by as much as 16 percent in those who took 400 milligrams of acyclovir twice a day.  However, the drug does not prevent the virus from being transmitted to heterosexual partners.

The researchers concluded that although acyclovir has slowed down the progress of HIV inside the human body, other antiretroviral drugs would have a greater impact.

The study was released in the latest issue of The Lancet.

  7. I’ve been waiting for a plausible alternative to smoking tobacco for many years (at least 5 years). I tried eclipse cigarettes and smoked them specifically to avoid ingesting added harmful chemicals; however the design of the filter superseded any benefits provided. The electronic cigarette has resolved the design flaw of eclipse cigarettes and I’m now tobacco-free (working on my fourth week of being without smoking tobacco). I don’t look at electronic cigarettes as a way to quit smoking, more of a way to avoid all the harmful chemicals in tobacco.

    Youre not the average blog writer, man. You definitely have something powerful to add to the web. Your design is so strong that you could almost get away with being a bad writer, but you’re even awesome at expressing what you have to say. Keep up the good work man!

  18. dog grooming says:

    Hello. I just wanted to pop in and comment on the design of your blog. Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s too loud. It’s doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say – which I think is really important.

  44. lapband says:

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  45. One of the more impressive blogs Ive seen. Thanks so much for keeping the internet classy for a change. Youve got style, class, bravado. I mean it. Please keep it up because without the internet is definitely lacking in intelligence.

  46. You lost me, friend. I mean, I assume I get what youre expressing. I recognize what you’re saying, but you just seem to have ignored that you can find some other people in the world who see this matter for what it definitely is and may well not agree with you. You might be turning away many of men and women who may have been fans of your weblog.
