That psychedelic illustration is straight out of The Fantastic Journey.

 I saw this movie so many times on "The 4:30 Movie" that my visualisations of the immune system are still based on this film.

Love the announcer saying, "Four men and a beautiful girl...."  I guess she couldn't be ugly.  And, she seems more like a woman to me.  And, that's Dr. Loomis, who was Michael Myers' doctor!  I never saw Fantastic Voyage.  I did see where Stewie was shrunk down to go inside Peter, in order to kill his brother.

I wonder if this is related in any way?

 HIV Latency Study​​ >

HIV (+) volunteers are needed to participate in a two-part research study.  The purpose of this Latency study is to harvest a quantity of white blood cells during a three-hour apheresis process.

Jaz; I don't think they are related - the Quest study indicates partnering with Gilead, whereas the Danish study is partnered with Novartis.

OneTampa:
I also saw the story and was going to post it but I see it already here.

Interesting. So the timeline to finding a cure for HIV is "within months". Will see.

Markmt:
At the same time the article says this...:-

“It will prove that we are heading in the right direction and demonstrate that a cure is possible. But I think it will be five years before we see a cure that can be offered on a large scale.”
