    Has BYU prof found AIDS cure?
    Compound could be long-sought breakthrough
    By Bob Mims
    The Salt Lake Tribune



    Researchers, including a BYU scientist, believe they have found a new compound that could finally kill the HIV/AIDS virus, not just slow it down as current treatments do.

    That would be great!

    If they can find something to stop the virus from attacking the T-cells, even if the virus is not killed, it can do no damage.
