Weak Spot Found in HIV Virus. Possible Clue to Cure!

Researchers have learned something about the HIV virus that may be the key to finding a cure for AIDS.   They found that there is a sugar along the protein coat of the virus that is susceptible to the attack of directed antibodies.

Interestingly enough, it seems that the original virus responsible for infection does NOT contain this sugar.  Only after it mutates over time within the body over time and under pressure of the immune system, is the sugar present on the outer coat.  This particular weak point is found on 2/3 of HIV viruses.

Future drugs would likely need to contain antibodies that attack this particular weak point along with some other weak points to be effective for most.
