| Response from Dr. Young
 Hello and thanks for bringing this early study to our attention. I think that it's premature to conclude that the gold compounds can be used to treat HIV in people. There are many tests that such interesting candidate compounds need to pass, including testing in people for safety and effectiveness, before drawing this conclusion. Nevertheless, it's always good to see promising and novel approaches to treat illness. Be well, BY | ||||||||
