According to the findings of the experts, the virus that causes AIDS,
HIV, spread like a computer virus type worms that are transmitted over
the internet.
Quoted Dream of the Daily Mail, Thursday, April 9, 2015, a Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV and computer networks at University College London (UCL) found common deployment after making computer simulations of how the HIV virus and worm spreads.
They created a computer model that is able to spread hybrid correctly predicted progression from HIV to AIDS in a clinical trial.
As a result, they found that early treatment is key in preventing AIDS.
A team of experts look at the spread of HIV through two methods, namely the bloodstream and directly between cells. Two methods are considered to be similar to the way a computer worm that spread through the internet and local networks that can infect as many computers as possible.
Models are created inspired by a computer worm called Conficker was first detected in 2008. Conficker spreads quickly to the military and police computer network throughout Europe and is still active today.
"HIV and Conficker have in common. Both use a hybrid deployment method, able to survive in the long term and very difficult to remove," said Zhang Changwang, UCL study authors.
Although cyber security community working together to overcome Conficker, they still have not been able to clean up the worm completely from the internet.
"HIV researchers are also facing the same problem. We hope that an understanding of the hybrid deployment can help the fight against HIV and Conficker," said Shi Zhou, supervisor of research at UCL.
HIV infects T cells play an important role in the immune system and protect us from various diseases.
When developing the HIV virus, will reduce the number of T cells in the body until the immune system is not functioning properly, this is what came to be known as AIDS.
"It seems like when broke into an area that is widely available T cells, such as the intestine, the HIV virus will spread using direct inter-cell to reproduce itself," said Benny Chain, senior professor at UCL.
Thus, blocking the spread of the HIV virus only through the blood stream would not be sufficient.
"Simulations indicate that we made with closing the spread of HIV between cells would stop the formation of AIDS."
But closing the spread of the HIV virus between cells in humans directly is not possible due to internal organs.
"But with this model at least we've been able to assess the effectiveness of drugs against various methods of spread of HIV in the body of the patient," said Clare Jolly, other researchers.
Jolly add this simulation has shown strong evidence that the spread between cells become an important part of the spread of the HIV virus. "We hope to soon show the results through studies in experimental animals."
