This one isn\u2019t my idea or doing, just elsewhere off of the Chans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be interested in knowing that sometimes \u201cGP160\u201d is actually = GP41 + GP120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what is GP160?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1-5 bands of difference in either direction could be the difference between a \u201cdifferential diagnosis\u201d for lymes disease or HIV on a western blot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some blots may be present in some patients, but not others. Usually p24 and\/or p41 are the ones that get attention for suspected HIV, but 120\/160 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some may be \u201cweakly reactive\u201d or not present at all as shown in tests #1 and 2 below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But again a \u201cband\u201d can be the sum of two other reactive bands; ie gp160 = gp40 + gp120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gp160 , or thereabouts could be hanging out there all by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

sv40, is idk, 80 or 90-something and can be present by itself, or damn near all by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are interesting to me. I\u2019m not 100% convinced that some of this shit means what they think it means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chagas idea is interesting, it\u2019s not where I went with this \u201cbut okay,\u201d I say this fairly often these days but \u201cI\u2019d be delighted to be wrong\u201d as long as someone<\/em> fucking comes up with the correct answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guess\u00a0which<\/em>\u00a0two drugs are next to impossible to even get in\u00a0Mexico,\u00a0<\/em>with or without a prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
