Cancer drugs might help fight HIV infections

Drugs used to treat cancer may actually help to fight off HIV infections.

Researchers at the University of minnesota Have found a way to treat the virus using cancer drugs already on the market.

In the lab, Decitabine and Gemcitabine appear to force the virus to mutate and kill itself. The drugs have already been approved by the FDA, so they could more quickly be developed into anti-HIV drugs.
