Re: ARTICLE: Fibers in Semen Help HIV Penetrate CellsFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 15 Dec 2007 10:23:10 -0600 (CST)
Fibers in Semen Help HIV Penetrate Cells The chances of infection are boosted 50-fold to 100,000-fold, study finds "THURSDAY, Dec. 13 (HealthDay News) -- In a discovery that perplexes HIV experts, an international team reports that tiny fibers commonly found in semen drastically enhance the ability of the virus to do its damage. According to a study in the Dec. 14 issue of Cell, the fibers capture the virus and then ferry it to target cells, increasing its ability to infect someone by more than 50 times in some cases and more than 100,000 times in others." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_58882.html Hope Waltman, WH Forum Moderator
