Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta.
Re: Guyanese - ketchim - 03-04-2013
"This is a proof of concept that HIV can be potentially curable in infants,".. she said. :-*
Re: Guyanese - ketchim - 03-04-2013
"Prompt antiviral therapy in newborns that begins within days of exposure may help infants
clear the virus and achieve long-term remission without lifelong treatment
by preventing such viral hideouts from forming in the first place," ....Persaud said. 8)

Deborah Persaud was summoned to a meeting by her division head. What to do? It was her day to pick up the kids at day care.
She called her husband; he agreed to switch with her.
At the appointed hour, believing she was headed for yet another discussion on space or money, dressed in a tired lab coat, Persaud headed for the conference room.
A festive celebration was under way.
Everyone she knew was there: her colleagues, her mentors, her department and division chairmen—
even her husband and three young children.........hahahahah....good job , hubby ! ::LOL::
