Remdesivir Is An HIV Drug - It Has Been Found to Be Helpful In The Treatment of Coronavirus

Remdesivir: This former investigational HIV drug received conditional FDA approval for emergency use as novel coronavirus treatment on May 1. It has shown tentative signs of promise in potentially reducing the length and severity of COVID-19 illness, although peer-reviewed results from fully powered studies are still lacking. Caution should be used when interpreting news reports on this drug.

Other HIV drugs that have been looked at, and found not to work. But why were they being looked at?

THEN THERE IS THIS:

Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin Have Been Found Ineffective Against Coronavirus

As NIAID director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., has publicly stated, there are no trials to support the claim that hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin can effectively and safely prevent or treat SARS-CoV-2 infection, or lessen the symptoms assoicated with COVID-19. The evidence regarding anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity to date has been almost entirely anecdotal, leaving open the possibility that other causes were at play in the clinical improvement of those patients. Neither of these drugs is an antiviral, which is why there is so much skepticism around the limited reports of their success: Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malarial medication—and malaria is a parasitic disease. Azithromycin is an antibiotic used commonly in the prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial pneumonia, as well as the treatment of ear infections, sinus infections, and a number of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis. Azithromycin also has a long history of usage in the context of the HIV epidemic: It is one of the drugs prescribed prophylactically against mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in people living with HIV. Opportunistic infection guidelines recommend the use of azithromycin to prevent disseminated MAC in people with a CD4 count below 50 unless they are virologically suppresed on antiretroviral therapy or are about to begin HIV treatment.

But we know from more than anecdotal evidence (studies by Doctors in France and America, plus the fact in Spain it was found that people with Lupus who are using regular doses of Hyroxychloroquine very, very rarely got Coronavirus and NONE OF THEM DIED.

So yeah, Hyrdroxychloroquine probably works.

But what is interesting about the above note from a HIV and COVID website is the fact that Azithromycin is used to treat Opportunistic infections in AIDS.

AIDS drugs seem to be acknowledged, by medical professionals, to work in the fight against Coronvirus. So much so, in fact, that several of them have been tried. Some worked, some were found wanting.

Point is, there seems to be a connection between HIV/AIDS and Coronavirus.

Isn't that interesting.

Let's see if there is any more?
