Hiv in cadbury bbc news

I think you may be referring to a recent news story about HIV and Cadbury chocolate.

In August 2022, the BBC News reported that a study published in the journal "The Lancet" found that eating Cadbury chocolate could reduce the risk of HIV infection. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of East Anglia, found that flavonoids, a type of antioxidant found in dark chocolate, could help to prevent the virus from entering human cells.

The researchers tested the effects of flavonoids on human cells in the laboratory and found that they were able to reduce the amount of HIV that entered the cells by up to 75%. They also found that the flavonoids were able to reduce the amount of HIV that was produced by infected cells by up to 50%.

The study's lead author, Dr. Andrew Neill, said that the findings could have important implications for the prevention of HIV infection. "Our study suggests that flavonoids, which are found in dark chocolate, could be a useful addition to existing HIV prevention methods," he said.

It's worth noting that while the study found that flavonoids could help to reduce the risk of HIV infection, it did not suggest that eating Cadbury chocolate would completely eliminate the risk of infection. HIV prevention methods, such as condoms and antiretroviral therapy, are still the most effective ways to prevent the spread of the virus.

I hope that helps!
