10:11 pm
this means and hiv aids and that may finally be in sight our reporter jared reid has been reading the research so explain these findings to us these are drugs that have existed for a while right that's right these are now the standard treatment for people living with hiv is a cold antiretroviral drugs and they basically suppress the levels of h.i.v. in the blood and basically what these findings show us is that everyone in the world had access to days everyone in the world with around just under forty million people if they had access to these drugs then there would be no new cases of hiv in this study looked at a thousand couples one of three men the partnership was hiv negative in the other one was hiv positive and was taking may's drugs and over and period when these when these pot news were having sex without a condom there was no not a single instance of hiv being passed from the hiv positive part to the hiv
