McMaster researchers discover a new way HIV infects women

Scientists have been stuck on the question of how HIV finds its way to female's reproductive tract. Researchers at the McMaster University thinks they found the answer. They believe that the virus attaches itself to the cells. Reseachers are still looking into this, but by discovering more information about this topic will make vaccines and preventions easier to figure out. It is said that half of the 40 million people with HIV are women. Women are the ones that this virus is growing on. Researchers are continuing this study hoping to find a reason to why more women are becoming affected so much easily than men.
