The findings of the research were published today in the Journal Of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The director of the National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases, said current treatments for H.I.V. are effective against this strain, and others. That said, identifying a new strain provides a more complete map of how H.I.V. evolves. According to the World Health Organization about 36.7 million people in the world are living with H.I.V…and hundreds of thousands of people get diagnosed with it each year.
