Chris Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Piscataway, N.J. — Researchers at Rutgers University have developed a trio of drugs they believe can destroy HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, according to a published report.The drugs, called DAPYs, mimic the virus by changing shape, which enables them to interfere with the way HIV attacks the immune system.Tests conducted in conjunction with Johnson and Johnson have shown the drug to be easily absorbed with minimal side effects. It also can be taken in one pill, in contrast to the drug cocktails currently taken by many AIDS patients.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzman Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Even if this doesn't itself cure it, it sure as hell is a step in the right direction... let's get this into testing with a certain quickness I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
