The world is constantly looking for solutions to serious disease problems. One of the main diseases people are fighting is HIV and AIDS. A recent study may lead to a solution in the near future. According to BBC News, 1 in 10 children may be born with the ability to fight off the AIDS virus. This news could lead to new treatment options in the near future.
BBC News is reporting that the study that was conducted centralized children in their similarities to the immune system of monkeys. The study found that children who had the special type of immune system were able to keep their bodies “calm” and not be wiped out completely when the infection took over. The trait was thought to be only found in species monkeys that also can aqcuire the virus, but the recent studies have shown that the trait is now also being seen in small children.
BBC News is also reporting that scientists are interested in this new information as fighting all of the disease in the body usually leads to the spread of it. The new information can allow them to see not only how to get this going and other children but also how this can be transferred to adults living with the virus. And HIV and AIDS treatment is the rebalancing of a person’s immune system. Applying this research and finding a use for it could lead to just that.
The spread of HIV and AIDS is a serious concern for people in the United States and all over the world. While awareness is growing, the disease is still spreading in some parts of the world. This is a growing concern for governments everywhere. Finding a cure would be beneficial to people all over the world. Hopefully, this information can be used to improve Quality of life for others.
