Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Gallo, co-discoverer of HIV, just published data purporting to show that HHV-6 dramatically potentiates the ability of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) to cause AIDS in macaques: http://tinyurl.com/3yk6ca Co-infections are interesting on their face, I think. But if Montoya is right about a subset of CFS being caused by HHV-6, then this could be good news. If HHV-6 is viewed as potentially aggravating AIDS in humans, then better anti-HHV-6 medications may be developed--a potential windfall for some PWCs.
