Willerth and her team studied approximately 15,000 different versions of the virus-something that has never been done before. This information has allowed them to locate the specific genes of the virus that were resistant to the drugs-knowledge that could ultimately help researchers develop more effective treatments for HIV.

Scientists say they have found a way to disarm the AIDS virus in research that could lead to a vaccine.  Researchers have discovered that if they eliminate a cholesterol membrane surrounding the virus, HIV cannot disrupt communication among disease-fighting cells and the immune system returns to normal.
