Wow, the HIV disguises itself as E.coli, hmm what do we do now!  I guess the answer is in plain sight.  Gather all the research on E.coli and figure it out, damnit!  lol

That would be a good start.  I do try to keep a perspective on these things (cure research), since hopes are often dashed.  But it does seem like every few weeks there's some advancement or credible hypotheses/potential breakthrough.  I do so very much hope there's a critical mass brewing and then something really big happens!  I'm just a year into diagnoses, though my numbers were bad at diagnosis (cd4 9; VL 111,000), so still sort of a newbie, not burnt out on disappointment yet.

In the meantime, I'll keep Atripla'n down the road.

This HIV appears to be a rather versatile character actor with an extensive repertoire playing in human body stages around the world.

Look.  You change one letter and now it's disguised as E.boli cousin to Ebola.  Damn this thing is tricky!
