GEN: Elite HIV Patients Mystify DoctorsFrom: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com)Wed Aug 16 20:55:40 2006
As many as one in 300 HIV patients never get sick and never suffer damage to their immune systems and AIDS experts said on Wednesday they want to know why. Most have gone unnoticed by the top researchers, because they are well, do not need treatment and do not want attention, said Dr. Bruce Walker of Harvard Medical School. But Walker and colleagues want to study these so-called "elite" patients in the hope that their cases can help in the search for a vaccine or treatments. "What in the heck is going on in people that successfully control this virus?" Walker asked a news conference held at the 16th International Conference on AIDS. "If we can figure out how people are doing that, we can try to replicate it." Art

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
