Just looking for a little help tracking some infor
Post# of 148150
I read in a Brazil newspaper article someone here on IH posted about a year ago of a call out by a local Brazil newspaper to find participants for a study into why some people won’t catch Covid from their spouse even though they were intimate and or shared in kisses and shared sleeping together and other situations of close contact. Some spouses showed no signs or even tested to not be Covid positive even though their spouses were positive. The article asked for 100 people that had not caught Covid from close contact with a positive Covid spouse. There was over 1,000 people that responded to the study. The study was viewed as to compare the genetic mutation of the delta 32 to something similar in a gene mutation to a possible different gene mutation that might be keeping these spouses from acquiring Covid from their spouses. It was a stretch to compare to our HIV gene mutation comparison but perked the interest of why some people just don’t catch Covid like some people just don’t get HIV.
I wonder about this because I have never caught Covid that I know of. Any time I have had a possible symptom I have tested only to get negative results. I did a lot of international travel to Canada during Covid with sometimes weekly trips and was tested by lab PCR testing and never tested positive either which was required just to cross the border as a Canadian government requirement.
So if anyone has heard of this study or it’s completion or anything about the original study timeline. Could you please share what you might of found or read with us please. It’s been sitting in the back of my mind for a long time and I can’t find anything after searching about any Covid gene mutations that prevent catching Covid.
