Harvard researchers release long list of proteins required for HIV

AIDS research has come a long way in the last two decades after surfacing in the U.S. in the 1980s as a deadly viral infection. Although AIDS patients are living longer lives with the use of new medical treatments and cutting-edge drugs, there is still no sure.
Scientists now have identified quite a laundry list of human proteins that the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) uses to attack on the way to causing infected victims all the signs of AIDS (as in, a severely weakened immune system).
Until recently, the AIDS research community had only identified a few dozen of these proteins, but Harvard researchers published a list this week with quite a few more proteins on the list. It's thought that the 273 potential HIV targets could be used to develop much more effective drugs. To those with AIDS in their life, this could turn into something very fruitful in the near future.
