About Aethlon Medical

Aethlon Medical is developing therapeutic devices that treat HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis-C, and other infectious diseases. In pre-clinical testing, Aethlon's lead product, AEMD-45 removed 55% of HIV from human blood in three hours and in excess of 85% in 12 hours. AEMD-45 is also able to clear 90% of toxic proteins (gp-120) that deplete immune cells in one hour.

AEMD-45, like all product offerings from Aethlon Medical, is developed from an expansive platform technology known as the Hemopurifier(TM), which employs a proprietary method to increase the capability of FDA cleared artificial kidneys (hemodialysis cartridges) to bind infectious viruses and toxic proteins from human blood before cells are infected. In January of 2003, the company completed early stage blood studies of its HCV-Hemopurifier, which documented the ability to remove 58 percent of the Hepatitis-C virus from infected blood in two hours.
