HIV Cure In Months - Danish Scientists Reports

The London telegraph has reported that Danish Scientists believe that they may have a cure for HIV 'within months'. A group of researchers at Arhus University Hospital in Denmark are testing a new technique that involves flushing the virus from so called reservoirs in human DNA. The virus is then destroyed naturally by the body's immune system.

They are expecting results to show that finding a mass-distributable and affordable cure to HIV is possible . 15 patients are taking in the trials, funded with 2.1 million dollars from the Danish Research Council. If they are found to have successfully been cured of HIV, the new technique will be tested on a wider scale.

any cure would be affordable to any of the 33 million people worldwide afflicted by the virus. however, despite the trials Dr. Ole Sogaard, a senior researcher in the department of infectious disease warned that the efficacy in the human body remained unproven. He was quoted in the Medical Daily as saying that ' The challenge will be getting the patients; immune systems to recognize the virus and destroy it. This depends on the strength and sensitivity of individual immune systems'.
