The common scientific wisdom on how HIV infection proceeds to full-blown AIDS might be wrong, two U.S. researchers say.
They hope that their new insights, if proven, will lead to exciting new treatment targets down the line.
Working from a complex mathematical model of viral replication and immune cell death, the researchers now suspect that AIDS begins when one especially fast-killing strain of HIV gains the upper hand over a less-lethal, but more prolific, strain.
