The study found that alcohol will make oral cells in oral sex more susceptible to HIV.This is the first cell from the perspective of the influence of alcohol on HIV infection research.

Prior studies have found that sexual intercourse without condom drink more opportunities, thereby increasing the risk of HIV infection; and is based on the above-mentioned study of alcohol on oral mucosa cells as a focus and found that oral sex can drink oral mucosa cells infected with HIV increased risk of three to six times.

The researchers collected those not infected with HIV in oral mucosal cells, these cells exposure to different types of beer with the same degree of alcohol, and then with the implantation of green fluorescent protein HIV exposure in order to observe whether the virus infection of oral mucosa cells. The experimental results show that with the concentration of 4% after 10 minutes of alcohol exposure, HIV infection of oral mucosa cells of three to six times the odds improve. HIV attacks the white blood cells CD4 +, and oral mucosa cells, usually white blood cells gather more.

HIV will be “held hostage” This kind of white blood cells, white blood cells will be of their own genes into the DNA, allowing the latter to create more virus particles, which infect more cells. CD4 + white blood cells of the host cell eventually poison to kill, but scientists still do not know the mechanism of the present. Human CD4 + white blood cell immunity with a reduction, to a certain extent can be diagnosed as AIDS.
