Lemon juice kills HIV in a test tube

Hi all,

The Financial Times reports on the new hope in Aids prevention which

lies in a group of products known as microbicides - vaginal gels and

creams that women can apply before sex to block potential

infections. Researchers are currently testing a number of products.

A professor at the University of Melbourne believes that lemon juice

could hold the key to products for men - claiming that lemon juice

killed the HIV virus in a test tube. The Financial Times also looks

at growing evidence that circumcision may protect heterosexual men

from HIV, however the promotion of this theory remains

controversial.
