Study: HIV Becoming Less Deadly, Less Infectious

[DEAD7]

A new study (abstract) from Oxford University shows HIV is weakening as it evolves in response to our immune system. When the virus encounters somebody with a particularly strong immune system, it sacrifices efficiency in replication to gradually overcome those defenses. This causes it to take more time for the infection to cause AIDS. Professor Philip Goulder said, "It is quite striking. You can see the ability to replicate is 10% lower in Botswana than South Africa and that's quite exciting. We are observing evolution happening in front of us and it is surprising how quickly the process is happening. The virus is slowing down in its ability to cause disease and that will help contribute to elimination." Goulder added that the average time from infection to the onset of AIDS has increased by 25% over the past 10 years.

It was always going to be the case.

It's a batty man disease.
It will eliminate all of them

Doesn't mean anything. An even more deadlier virus will come along.

now we have Ebola.
As 150 years later, HIV is just like a cough to us, I guess.

Yes because Ebola is a new virus

This story is very very dangerous. And HIV/AIDS is not a "battyman" disease on the African continent.

This, combined with the ponderance of why rape and sexual assault victims don't come forward immediately is seriously lowering my respect for posters on The Coli.

A friend of my used to fukk with this African chick and he told me he fukked her in her ass a lot, because culturally it is something they are into. I never thought much or looked into it, but is there any truth to what he said?

Goes back to f*ckin' random skee-hoes with reckless abandon

Doesn't mean anything. An even more deadlier virus will be created in a lab.

Im not sure if this was a tongue in chic comment but ummmmmm

Im originally from the greatest country in East Africa, TANZANIA, and girls there are more open to it because it keeps them virgins so they can still get married. Not saying this is the case with ALL of them, just the ones I had the pleasure of pleasuring
