The idea of the live-virus vaccine is to produce in a continuous way some viral antigens.
From Luc Montagnier
What seems to be clear to me is that after the primary infection most of the cells die indirectly, but at the later stage, when the viral load is very high, the virus kills a lot of cells directly.
What perhaps should receive more attention is the effect of the treatment on the virus.
We don't know why, but there are some gradients of infection.
We are working with a biotech company, Calypte, which has designed a urine test for the HIV antibody.
They don't actually see the real world, where 95% of the people with HIV are not treated and are dying. And even though we have some blue sky now in our country, the sky could become cloudy again very soon.
The center will be fully operational in two years' time, but probably in the middle of the year we will have a temporary laboratory of 4,000 square feet.
That is why it is so important not only to have excellent treatment but also to try to get back the immune defense, because there you have a natural defense that takes place everywhere.
Since most of the transmission is sexual transmission, you have a regional or local response to the virus.
Psychological factors are critical in supporting immune function. If you suppress this psychological support by telling someone he's condemned to die, your words alone will have condemned him.
