DESCRIPTION
This implant could help protect women from HIV.
The University of Waterloo engineered a medical device as an effective option to help protect women from contracting HIV. The device is a vaginal implant made of a hollow tube and a pair of pliable arms. The tube releases medication to coat the walls of the vaginal tract and reduce the activation of T cells.
HIV is easily transmitted when T cells detect invaders. The virus latches onto the T cells and corrupts them, but this method keeps the T cells dormant, giving the virus no host to infect, and keeping it from transmitting from person to person.
The implant has worked so far on animal models, but the team is doing more research before moving forward with human trials. One of the creators says that they decided to pursue a vaginal implant because “some drugs taken orally never make it to the vaginal tract.â€
According to Medical News Today, there are 36.7 million people living with HIV or AIDS worldwide, including 2.1 million children under the age of 15. But, hopefully medical inventions like this implant will help reduce those numbers while proving people with more options to arms themselves against the disease. Posted By Ghost
