Through long - established collaborations in Durban and Kimberley, these studies in particular seek to define: the immune responses that
are effective in control of HIV infection; the impact of HLA - mediated selection pressure on HIV
at the individual and population
level; the mechanisms of HIV non-pathogenicity; the nature and consequences of ontogeny of the virus - specific immune response; and finally the prospects for interventions including antiretroviral therapy, alone or in combination with broadly neutralising

's estimated that 75 million people either have a diagnosis or they have the
antibodies for autoimmune just
at a subclinical
level.
Dr. Justin Marchegiani: Yeah, just wan na make sure you get the thyroid full tested before you do anything like that, get the
antibodies looked
at, and then get everything else dialed in first before you go into the iodine because you can easily have a — a Wolff — Chaikoff effect or a Jod - Basedow effect where too much iodine can actually cause a hyper or hypo - like symptoms especially if you go too much, so you
're always better off starting low with a couple hundred mics and working up to, you know, the lower milligram
level.
