TweetJapanese scientists introduce new HIV drug
KOBE, Japan, July 6 (UPI) -- Japanese researchers have developed a durable new drug that blocks HIV from entering human cells and causes almost no side effects.
The new drug, code named AK602, was unveiled by Hiroaki Mitsuya, leader of the research team at Kumamoto University, at the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific in Kobe Tuesday, the Asahi Shimbun reported Wednesday.
The drug's main feature is that it shuts out the AIDS virus at the point when it tries to intrude into a human cell.
Current AIDS medications often lose their effectiveness after a few days due to the virus' resistance, but the AK602 reacts to human cells instead of attacking the virus, said Mitsuya, a university professor.
When the new drug becomes attached to the protein that acts as an entrance into human cells for the AIDS virus, it can prevent HIV from entering.
The researchers conducted clinical tests on 40 AIDS patients in the United States. When the patients took 0.02 ounces of AK602 twice a day for 10 days, the number of HIV viruses dropped to an average of 1 percent.

TweetThat is amazing news! I hope this gets out there and works that way that would be tremendous for so many people
TweetI know and ive yet to hear one thing about it in the main stream media...i got this info of a science/medical site i frequent
TweetThat would be crazy if it got squashed, wouldnt want all those poor inner city folk and homos to overrun us now would we.. and what about africa and the other overpoplulated poor countries? Cant have any drug messing with our population control now can we.... I really doubt that/hope not but I do have and have had a weird feeling how aids came into what it is in the first place
TweetThey are also testing crocodile and komoda draogons blood as a possible antibiotic because their immune systems can actually kill the virus.....their immune system from what ive read is far superior which makes sense considering they live in such a violent enviroment and nasty ass swamps with who knows what in them.
Tweet^^ that is pretty sweet!
TweetI dont even want to get started on the hiv/aids conspiracy theory, hell i dont even wanna call it a theory because ive seen so much info on the subject that it makes me sick to my stomach.Originally Posted by geesler
