New epidemic strain of HIV in Cuba is twice as aggressive as average virus







Researchers are worried after discovering a new strain of HIV in Cuba that progresses to Aids twice as fast as the average strain of the disease, leaving those infected with a preciously shorter window in which to seek treatment.

The strain – which is actually a mix of three subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus – can progress to Aids within three years if left untreated, according to reports. The average HIV strain advances to Aids in six to 10 years.
