A new purifier, which has performed well during clinical trials, may be the in thing in AIDS treatment. A blood purifier, which separates the HIV from circulating blood, has been developed and if found to be successful, this purifier, might mark the beginning of the end of HIV’s vicious grip on human race.

According to researchers at Aethlon Medical, a biotechnology firm in La Jolla, California, trials of the filtration system, aptly named the HIV-Hemopurifier, began in February of this year.

Richard Tullis, Aethlon's chief project researcher said the HIV-Hemopurifier method is based on kidney dialysis. In essence, the system filters out AIDS virus in much the same way a water filtration system removes lead and other impurities from drinking water. In the Hemopurifier case, Tullis removed HIV from several 10-milliliter samples of contaminated blood plasma.

The inventor of the filter, Dr. Julian Ambrus, said this blood filtration could be used along with other treatment modalities like AZT and antiviral cocktails.
