Scientists have discovered three previously unknown human antibodies that neutralize HIV, two of which target a broad range of HIV strains. The findings, reported online July 8 in two Science papers, come less than a year after another team of researchers discovered two other antibodies that bind to and neutralize HIV.

By testing for HIV's genetic material in addition to antibodies against the virus in more than 3,000 people, Dr. Sheldon R. Morris of the University of California San Diego and colleagues identified 15 HIV-infected patients who the standard test would have missed.
Their request seemed simple enough: the patient and his wife, both in their 70s, wanted a copy of what I’d written in their medical file.
