【Animal Modeling】-Scientists have discovered that monkey HIV can fight drugs within days of entering the body

  A recent study found that monkey HIV has the ability to escape the attack of anti-AIDS drugs within a few days after entering the human body. This finding has had an impact on AIDS treatment research.

  According to the latest research report, if a person is also infected with HIV, he must treat the infected person "very quickly".

  Not long ago, the medical community announced that the American girl "Mississippi Baby" who started receiving retroviral drugs 30 hours after birth was initially "cured" after 18 months of continuous treatment. She found out that she was suffering from AIDS in July this year. The virus is back.

  reported that the main challenge in treating AIDS is that HIV has a hidden place: infected immune cells. HIV DNA can remain latent in infected immune cells for many years, avoiding interference from antiretroviral drugs and the immune system.

  As long as you stop taking the drug, most patients will immediately start to replicate the virus. In other words, the patient must take the medicine for life.

  When and how HIV found these hidden cells when it entered the body is still unknown. A new study found that rhesus monkeys infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (simianHIV) "unexpectedly" showed cells that hide them in the body after infection. The monkeys received treatment on the 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th days after infection. As soon as the drug was stopped, the virus began to replicate, while the previously treated monkeys were infected with the virus. Copy speed becomes slower.
