Doctors have long suspected that people with herpes are more likely to catch HIV. So they thought that by treating herpes, they could also cut a person's HIV risk. But a new study that tested this strategy found the assumption may have been wrong.

A pioneering collaborative study has discovered how the HIV virus evades the human body's immune system. The research collaborative -- involving scientists from the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Massachusetts General Hospital, Microsoft Research and Los Alamos National Laboratory -- used highly computer-intensive, cutting-edge statistical research methods to investigate how the HIV virus mutates to escape the body's immune system.

The scientists engineered an enzyme which attacks the DNA of the HIV virus and cuts it out of the infected cell, according to the study published in Science magazine. The enzyme ,which called Tre , removes the virus from the genome of infected cells by recognizing and then recombining the structure of the virus's DNA. The enzyme is still far from being ready to use as a treatment, the authors warned, but it offers a glimmer of hope for the more than 40 million people infected worldwide.

“In an unusual approach, researchers have resurrected an inactive chimpanzee retrovirus that was never able to infect humans. Test tube experiments suggest that humans paid a high cost for developing immunity to this bug: It may have left us much more susceptible to another retrovirus, HIV.”

Scientists said on Thursday.A battle won by human ancestors against a virus that infected chimpanzees and other primates millions of years ago may have left people today more vulnerable to the AIDS virus,
Nuclear Factor 90(NF90) targeted to TAR RNA inhibits transcriptional activation of HIV-1
