HIV Infects Much Faster than Previously Believed

Friday July 25, 2008
Researchers at Duke University have found new evidence that suggests that HIV infects and attacks the body within days after transmission; much faster that first believed. What this means, according to the researchers is that testing is going to have to be done sooner and more often in order to identify infections before they can be passed on to others, accoridng to Dr. Peter Leone, North Carolina's HIV/AIDS Health Director and an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Schools of Medicine and Public Health. In addition, it is essential to know what goes on immediately after transmission if vaccine research is going to be successful in bringing us an effective vaccine. Read more in this article from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune.

I just got home from an amazing run in the gorgeouns sunshine outside on a chillaxious Friday and I was once again reminded of how beautiful and easy our lives are.

We spend so much time complaining and bickering about basically non-existent problems and sometimes we forget how awesome it is to be here. Sure, tragedies do exist (check out the drunk driving thread for some sad examples), but generally life is easy. If those young adults who were killed by drunk drivers were able to speak from the grave, the first thing they’d say is that life is short, so enjoy it. They really are proof of how short it can be.

Some personal examples of my life being beautifubl:

-Just spend a week in Canmore helping paint my friend’s million dollar home, while mountain biking, drinking, and getting free room and board. And I even got paid for it!

-Lost my wallet three times so far. Everytime it has been returned. One time I lost it in Edmonton with $70 cash inside, and when it was returned the cash was still in it! (minor miracle, especially in Edmonton!)

-Lost my passport in NZ while on a crazy adventurue. Got my new passport in the mail the day before my flight back to Canada!

-The economy is finally starting to turn around. So far this week I’ve saved about $200 in travel expenses thanks to the rising Canadian dollar!

-Going to Spain in September for $116 thanks to cmyden and his amazinrg travel deal!

-And we can all agree that the Flames getting Bouwmeester for nothing is something we as a group can celebrate! kg6n9x

It sounds like some of the new HIV drugs hitting the market are absolutely amazing. Wouldn’t it be something if this disease could be completely erased by 2020?
