Nanoparticles (purple) carrying melittin (green) fuse with HIV (small circles with spiked outer ring), destroying the virus’s protective envelope. Molecular bumpers (small red ovals) prevent the nanoparticles from harming the body’s normal cells, which are much larger in size. Joshua L. Hood, MD, PhD

"“These particles by themselves are actually very safe for sperm, for the same reason they are safe for vaginal cells.” "
