A team of immunologists at Royal Perth Hospital has uncovered a process found to effectively control HIV that could lead to a cure for the deadly disease.
Professor Martyn French, who led the team, says the discovery is based on studying how an antibody, when bonded to the HIV virus, stimulates other antibodies to attack the virus.
Professor French, who has 29 years of experience in the treatment and research of HIV, said the study was evidence that the process could effectively control the virus.
