In Bed With Colby Keller: Interview With Zachary Barnett of EndHIV.com (Part Two)

Last week, Manhunt‘s resident sexpert Colby Keller introduced you to a scruffy, bespectacled (and might I add, very handsome) gentleman named Zachary Barnett. To give you a quick recap, he’s working with the Abzyme Research Fund (EndHIV.com) to test a new vaccine that could make major waves in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Truth be told, I’m only scratching the surface with that recap, so here’s an idea…

GO WATCH PART ONE HERE.

Alright! Are you all caught up? When we last saw this lovely duo, Zach was about to tell us about Timothy Ray Brown, a man who was essentially cured after a stem cell transplant in Berlin. He continues from their in our latest installment of In Bed With Colby Keller, then moves on to discuss the complex pharmaceutical politics of his work.

  3. HIV Resurgence in “Boston Patients” Frustrates, Informs Research Into Cure

    From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

    December 9, 2013

    The news that “HIV has reappeared
    in the blood of two Boston patients who scientists had hoped had been
    cured of their infections … is yet another cautionary tale of how
    researchers can never afford to underestimate the human immunodeficiency
    virus’s ability to hide out in patients’ bodies and overcome their most
    ingenious efforts to eliminate it,” NPR’s “Shots”
    blog reports (Knox, 12/6). “The patients had received a treatment
    regimen similar to that given to Timothy Ray Brown, known as the ‘Berlin
    patient,’ who doctors said in 2009 had been cured of the virus by a
    bone-marrow transplant with cells that were resistant to HIV infection,”
    Nature/Scientific American
    writes, noting, “Unlike Brown, however, the two ‘Boston patients’ …
    received bone-marrow transplants with cells that were not resistant to
    HIV” (Hayden, 12/8).

    “Although there was never an expectation that risky bone-marrow
    transplants would soon be a routine treatment for HIV, the news was
    frustrating to AIDS experts,” the New York Times
    reports. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy
    and Infectious Diseases, “said the failure ‘doesn’t put an end to this
    avenue of research, but it certainly does put a damper on it,'” the
    newspaper writes (McNeil, 12/6). “Other people, including a child who is
    currently 36 months old and a group of 14 patients in France, have been
    able to go off antiviral drugs without the virus reappearing (so far)
    if they get treatment early enough after first being infected,” Business Insider notes (Welsh, 12/6).

    Back to other news for December 2013

  4. I realize that this is manhunt, but “In The News” should have NEWS. Things like Ryan Kwanton’s butt, Trey Songz endowment, fuckable X-Men, and Dan Osborne naked are not news. Put them under hot guys where they belong. Personally I APPLAUD Colby Keller for delivering something meaningful and worth while.

  5. That’s the problem with having a “celebrity” tag in the “in the news” section. Now that you mention it, I might move that over to the “Entertainment” section…

  6. I’m not trying to tell you how to do your job, and I am really sorry for the hostile overtones in that post. I’m still a bit worked up over the “Religious Freedom” bill that Arizona was trying to pass (thank god the governor vetoed it). I was shocked to see nothing on here about it really.
