NanoViricides CEO Eugene Seymour said, “The need for more therapeutic alternatives to combat HIV is greater than ever, especially after the complete failure of two highly-publicized HIV vaccine trials, the first conducted by VaxGen and the second by Merck.” Howard Fields of NanoViricides explained that controlling viremia, the presence of a virus in the blood, “is the most important factor in keeping HIV infection from developing into symptomatic AIDS,” and that the company’s drugs are “designed precisely for controlling viremia by eliminating the circulating virus.” The company’s president Anil R. Diwan said that the study will be followed up by a “major government research institution” later this year. The article can be viewed online at the link below.
