Medical mystery


Two articles on a remarkable Nairobi prostitute named Agnes Munyiva who has had sex with hundreds of HIV infected men yet has remained HIV free: a short article at Time and a longer one from a month back in The Observer. Agnes and 24 other Nairobi prostitutes are being studied to try and understand how they remain HIV-free despite behaving no differently than other prostitutes. Do they have a natural immunity?
