Gene Therapy For HIV Shows Good Results
Gene therapy has been used for the first time to treat HIV patients by boosting their immune system.
According to the report published by BBC, US scientists managed to modify genes of HIV patients which might lead to help them stop taking daily medication. We have published articles earlier on HIV treatments and already noted that HIV medication gives good protection only to those patients, who take them daily and do not miss the intakes. However, a big number of patients who have access to medication fail to keep to the schedule and thus are at high risk.
Antiretroviral drugs reduces the number of deaths among HIV patients. Right now, it is estimated that there are 35 mln infected people around the world. According to recent reports, there are 3,3 mln of HIV infected people in Nigeria, with adult prevelance of 3.6%. Every year, 1.5 mln die around the world of AIDS complications.
