"Shy" study suggests new treatment mechanism.
A study found that socially inhibited persons with HIV did much worse than others virologically--due to biological differences that might be reversible with readily available drugs. This theory would be easy to test in small clinical trials. If it works, it might lead to a new kind of treatment that could generally reduce viral load for some patients.
