Penn Researchers Suppress AIDS Virus

Researchers at the Wistar Institute have developed a fascinating new therapy that works to suppress– but not cure– the HIV virus, as the Inquirer reports. The study, carried out on 20 patients over a period of 24 weeks, proved successful in that 9 of the patients involved were able to suppress the HIV virus through a combination of interferon, a drug that interferes with HIV and such, and antivirals, drugs that interfere with viruses and such. The conclusion: the researchers believe they can treat HIV without the usual antivirals, which is a big deal!

Let's try this one more time without the technical jargon: Penn scientists are cool and developed a promising new treatment for the HIV virus! Science is so fashion.
