"kmatshuisa asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi Chris,
In Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, it was found that an HIV infected woman's body was able to kill multiple strains of HIV by developing potent antibodies.
What do you know about this research?
Can you please elucidate further about how the body is able to repeatedly produce T-cells to fight the virus as found in some sex workers in Kenya who body's have managed to fight off the disease?
What is the difference in resistance between the sex workers in Kenya & the woman from KZN in fighting HIV?
I trust you are well.
Best regards
Kabelo
