** An Accident **

Like most things discovered in medicine, this hormone, (hCG ) human chorionic gonadotropin has been found to significantly reduce the incidence of HIV in laboratory mice. It was just discovered that all the mice involved in the lab study produced positive HIV levels, EXCEPT the pregnant females.

hCG hormone is naturally produced during pregnancy and is the basis for the Urine pregnancy tests. It is also produced in high concentrations by a wide range of cancers. Very interesting discovery since hCG is a natural occurring substance and hopefully a vaccine could be developed ?
