The researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have found out that hydrogen sulphide gas can suppress the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV virus. A team from the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology and the Center for Infectious Disease Research in IISc have ascertained that increased hydrogen sulphide in the body reduces the rate at which the HIV virus multiplies in the immune cells.
The finding will pave the way for developing a more comprehensive therapy against HIV. The study published in eLife says that maintenance of HIV latency and reactivation are closely linked to the hydrogen sulphide levels in infected cells. According to Amit Singh, Associate Professor in IISc and corresponding author of this study, the findings open the door for a relook at the treatment of HIV patients.
