Not my field so please bear with me. Before watching the video
the notion of interfering with the capsid as a mechanism for stopping the virus made sense.
However, what I still don't have a handle on is how does lenacapavir act so long that it only needs to be administered every six months?
From the explanation lenacapavir works on the capsid directly, it's not acting on the immune system by training the body's defences as with a traditional vaccine. Surely this molecule can't just hang around for six months without being gobbled up by the liver or such.
