KNOW? (VERSION 2)
UPDATED POSITION STATEMENT FROM THE MEA:
This is a considerably extended and updated version of our first summary =
on XMRV research. =20
It includes additional information relating to questions that are coming =
to the MEA about the research findings, in particular questions =
concerning possible transmission and spread of XMRV, availability of =
private and NHS tests for the virus here in the UK, possible treatment =
of XMRV with antiviral drugs, and volunteering for UK research studies.=20
We also report on a new research study from Germany that has queried the =
link between XMRV and prostate cancer.
This summary is intended to be a balanced account which not only raises =
questions but is also very cautious when it comes to drawing any firm =
conclusions about the role of XMRV at this very early stage in the =
research.
Full statement available on the MEA website at: =
