Substance in Milk helps prevent HIV replication

It is interesting to read that a property in milk helps in combating infections among HIVs. Lactoferrin, a substance found in milk, was seen to combine to surfaces of Immune (CD4+) cells and block HIVs from attaching to them and cause damage to them.

Although I have not made a complete research on the net about this one, I was able to read some notes where Lactoferrin was noted to have some effect on how HIV infection progresses in the body of infected individuals. This is somehow difficult for lactoferrin should be made available in the blood unaltered for it disintegrates when it passes through the digestive system rendering it innefective when absorbed.
