Hopfully the discovery of VRC01 and VRC02 antibodies will help ease the HIV pandemic if practically proven effective
Goodluck, God bless

I have been HIV+ for 20+ years and have managed my disease very well considering I have battled Bukitts Lymphoma and am in remission from that 13 years. Just diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer and taking chemotherapy now at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. I shall win this battle and I have always said if anyone can beat HIV,then I can. A vaccine would be wonderful, but if there is any kind of study on this vaccine with people that are HIV+…please let me know or consider me for the study. I would love to participate in a study for your drug. Thanks in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Bryan K Allen

There are many antibodies and even chemicals (i.e., Dextran Sulphate) that can inhibit HIV entry into the cells in vitro but at least in the past none has shown any positive effect in vivo. I have doubts that antibodies against HIV have any bneficial effects.
