Unlike conventional methods of HIV prevention, such as condoms or anti-HIV drugs, the recently-created implant takes advantage of some people’s natural immunity to the virus

Infant rhesus monkeys receiving different diets early in life develop distinct immune systems that persist months after weaning, a study by researchers from UC Davis, the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) at UC Davis and UC San Francisco has shown. The study, which compares breast- and bottle-fed infants, appears online September 3 in Science Translational Medicine.
