Have you seen this good news in the fight against HIV?

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2...

Scientists have figured out that "gp120" is a prime target for therapeutic medicines to stop the infectivity of HIV - "gp120" is a non-mutable section of the HIV virus required for the virus to attach to cells - block it, and you block infectivity. Hats off to the scientists at UT!!!

That's good ... hit it at the one spot where it CAN'T mutate.

I hate that damned virus!

Great news, thanks for sharing.
