Doctors in Houston Have found a section of an HIV protein that does not mutate. This is the Achilles Heel of the virus, and doctors have developed a way to neutralize the virus through attacking that weak spot.
The weak spot is hidden in the HIV envelope protein gp120. This protein is essential for HIV attachment to host cells, which initiate infection and eventually lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses
There is hope after all. This disease has already claimed if not a thousand then millions of lives. I think that this is the time when we can look forward to the future without worrying of sickness.
This is the type of news that we love to hear. I know that one day there will be a cure. It is just sad that we have to lose so many loved ones in the meantime.

Thankyou for posting the second ink. It does look really interesting, lets hope that further testing also proves positive.
