A 36-year-old woman with advanced HIV carried the novel coronavirus for 216 days, during which the virus accumulated more than 30 mutations, a new study has found.
The case report, which has not been peer-reviewed, was published as a preprint on medRxiv on Thursday. The woman, who has not been named, was identified as a 36-year-old living in South Africa.
The coronaviruses gathered 13 mutations to the spike protein, which is known to help the virus escape the immune response, and 19 other mutations that could change the behaviour of the virus.
If more such cases are found, it raises the prospect that HIV infection could be a source of new variants simply because the patients could carry the virus for longer, Tulio de Oliveira, a geneticist at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban and the study’s author, told the Times
And still anti vax worry about vaccine side effect 10 yrs later …. KNN death knocking at their doors liow still think about 2molo

So this mutated virus lived in a HIV woman for so many days. Now it becomes a virus that is very contagious and many countries are trying to avoid infection from this virus.........................

maybe can have double infections like COVID and HIV ?

Vaccine still effective against this mutated 32 times variant meh?

Well …. any other brilliant idea? This is what we have got so far … get it then see how. Better than sit around and do nothing. No get, no need see how.
Lucky I going to get my booster end of next week ….
One time says very few cases in Whole of Continental Africa. The next moment says mutated variants. If we live with the virus, there will be mutated variants.
Besides HIV, what other infections can covid combine with to create a bigger and potent virus?

No idea. Just leave it to God

Will the 4th jab be Pfizer, Moderna, Sinovac or Sinopharm...?
