A member asked:
Which enzyme is responsible for killing the hiv virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: No enzyme is known to kill HIV -- except that digestive (stomach, intestinal) enzymes probably do so if HIV infected blood or bldy fluids are swallowed. This probably is one reason oral sex or other oral exposures to HIV are very low risk for infection.
