 | | For years HIV reinfection or superinfection as it is sometimes called, has been theorized as a consequence of unprotected sexual encounters between two HIV infected people. | | | Therefore, the virus becomes quickly resistent to therapy. | | | But now, compelling evidence has surfaced in human case studies that has confirmed our fears that HIV reinfection can occur and can be very problematic for HIV infected people. |
