And if you don’t take it for months or even a week, it would possibly expand resistance to the drug. And then it would possibly stop working.”
There is a lot of optimism about a possible vaccine opposed to COVID-19, i.e. from the United States, with some tips that may be available before the end of the year. Streek, however, said there were still doubts about this perspective.

But there is still hope because of the structure between HIV and the new coronavirus.
“The distribution of coronavirus is different from that of HIV. And some of the characteristics of the virus make us think it might be less difficult to locate a vaccine opposite this coronavirus. But in the end, you have to try it and it’s very difficult. predict.”
