Researchers at Penn State have reported a form of the anti-oxidant mineral Selenium proves to reduce HIV viral load in vitro by 10-fold. Sodium Selenite was used in test tubes to prevent HIV from reproduce in human blood. Healthy volunteers donated blood. Later the blood was infected with HIV and small amounts of sodium selenite were added. Viral replication was reduced by 10-fold. Selective

Japanese researchers at the Tokyo-based Nihon University have discovered that an acid produced in gum disease seems to accelerate the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus. Certain bacteria in periodontal or gum disease create a distinctively smelly substance called butyric acid. Butyric acid in turn inhibits an enzyme called HDAC that prevents HIV from reproducing. While not everyone with HIV gets
