Probiotic appraoch to Anti-HIV

This is one of those things that illustrates the power of creativity. Most people would think that combatting HIC+V is going to be an antibody/ vaccine approach or possibly drugs. BUt how about the probiotic approach. It turns out that a humble lactobacilus with which we have a symbiotic relationship already, may quite like to dine on the HIV. We'll have to see whether the lab research works live, but it's hopeful. OF course, of interest to Africa, this is a potentially 'grow your own' solution. Just what the doctor ordered.
