INTRODUCTION: Every human being has mind power, and it can directly affect our activities and behaviors. Furthermore, our minds can directly control our internal organs, tissues, and even cellular activity after we receive appropriate training. OBJECTIVE: This pilot study investigated how a person's mind power can directly influence the growth and infectivity of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) outside the human body. METHOD: In-vitro study of HIV-1 transfected 293T cell culture. INTERVENTIONS: "Inhibit growth intention" for 5 and 10 minutes, and "increase growth intention" for 5 minutes. OUTCOME MEASURES: HIV-1 growth and relative infectivity. RESULTS: The pilot study showed an interesting trend: compared to the control group, the amount of HIV-1 in the cell culture of the treatment groups with an "inhibit intention" decreased, whereas the amount of HIV-1 in the group with a "growth intention" increased. The multinuclear-activation galactosidase indicator (MAGI) analysis also showed that HIV-1 infectivity is influenced by different mind "intentions". Although the study is a pilot study, it sheds light on a new direction for HIV/AIDS research.
