HIV Antibody Infusions Show Promise for Treating SHIV-Infected Monkeys
 
 
  Two teams of scientists are reporting results from experiments in which they infused powerful anti-HIV monoclonal antibodies into monkeys infected with an HIV-like virus, rapidly reducing the amount of virus, or viral load, to undetectable levels, where it remained for extended periods.
 
The studies' authors now propose testing a similar strategy in HIV-infected people and exploring the potential role of such monoclonal antibody infusions in curing people of HIV.
