From the story: The new strain, called the VB variant, damages the immune system,
weakening people’s ability to fight everyday infections and diseases much
faster than the previous HIV strains, scientists say. It also means that
people who contract the new variant may develop AIDS faster. Researchers
also found that VB has a viral load (the amount of virus detected in blood)
3.5 to 5.5 times higher than the current strain, indicating that it could
also be more infectious.
