What if, instead of taking daily medication, individuals living with HIV could take a vaccine to defend their bodies? What if this vaccine could also be used to prevent HIV? Manhunt‘s resident “sexpert” Colby Keller sat down with Zachary Barnett of EndHIV.com to discuss his work with the Abzyme Research Foundation, a non-profit in the early stages of testing a new vaccine in human clinical trials.
Some of you are probably sitting there scratching your heads and wondering what an “abzyme” is, but don’t sweat it just yet! Colby and Zachary will answer your questions in due time, and with two more installments of this In Bed With Colby Keller interview coming your way, you’ll learn even more in the weeks to come… So without further ado, we encourage you to take seven minutes out of your busy life to hear what these two fine fellows have to say. And be sure to tune in next week for even more!

Amazingly informative and it seems like a very hopeful step in the fight against HIV.
Can’t wait for the next installment, thanks!
Anyone want to explain why the Manhunt servers are CRAWLING for the past few days? Takes like 5 minutes to load any page or profile. Be nice to have an acknowledgement from you guys. Most sites that take money from consumers have the common decency to keep its users informed of site issues and whether or not they’re being corrected.

ill take C) The fool who pays for it!
From Zach’s experience, just goes to show you to know your status and know your partners status prior to being together. And as precautionary both parties should participate in quarterly testing depending on your sexual practices.. it’s common sense. Oh and stay away from anonymous bareback sex. You’re just asking for it at that point..
Who would ever think by looking at this guy that he is HIV positive and I do not believe that I have ever heard of not needing to take medications if that is true he is a very lucky man !
So does this vaccine induce the Delta 32 mutation? Or does it stop the change in the conformation of the gp120 or gp41 proteins?
Aw, I know Zach! He’s a really nice guy. And side note – very sexy and crazy tall, 6’5 or something
it’s really cute that Colby has a little crush on him.
