Scientists Find Potential Method to Deplete HIV Reservoirs
#2
He was 19 years old when first detected to have HIV in his blood. Kai Brothers, from San Francisco is just starting to show symptoms (HIV was detected in his blood in 1989!), having fought the disease without the need for any medication for nearly 30 long years! So is there anything special in the genes/blood of Kai that keeps/kept him safe from life threatening AIDS till date?

Quote:According to the tests conducted by Jay Levy, a leading AIDS researcher from University of California, Kai's WBCs secrete an "unidentified protein" that's suspected/hoped to control the damaging aspects of the deadly HIV virus.

It's hoped that the reproduction of this protein could pave the way for treatment of HIV!


I found this story at kaibro.com, a website for Kai brothers.
