Scientists image a single HIV particle being born

"...By using a specialized microscope that illuminates only a cell’s surface, [Rockefeller Scientists] have become the first to see, in real time and in plain view, hundreds of thousands of molecules coming together in a living cell to form a single particle of the virus that has, in less than 25 years, claimed more than 25 million lives: HIV."

That's kinda fascinating, yet strangely disturbing and scary at the same time. I wonder if they can find a way to interrupt that process to kill HIV?

[As a side note, this is the 10,000th thread on this forum :) ]
