Australian Researchers are one step closer to finding a Vaccine for HIV and hope to be able to offer a preventative jab within the decade. Experts at the University of Melbourne have found people people with HIV produce antibodies called ADCC which trigger the immune system to find and attack the virus.
Analysis of the blood ample also found that forced the HIV virus to change making it weaker. said Professor Steven Kent leading author of a paper of the new findings.
But because the antibodies don't develop until they catch HIV the antibodies can't actually cure the HIV once it's already there.
