Sitting in my office conference room this morning, I happened to glance over and read the label on the bottle of [cleaning solution](http://www.flickr.com/photos/34943992@N00/11453487975/) sitting there.
Yes, that’s right - it says it’s effective against HIV-1! :eek: Why hasn’t the World heard about this incredible cure?!
Unfortunately there are no instructions for application - I guess you just spray it on you like Windex?

The hard part in medicine is not killing the pathogen. The hard part is not killing the patient in the process.
