Doctors are considering using a new technology for genetically modifying AIDS patients' own cells to be resistant to HIV. As this ScienCentral News video explains, they're modeling the idea after rare individuals who are naturally immune to the AIDS virus.

  • It's a perfect ...

    It's a perfect virus in the sense of what it does: kill immoral people. It lays dormant for years allowing it's spread almost exclusively to those who partake in the same sexual activities before finally with near certainty killing them. If you or others want to pay millions to find a cure that's fine but don't ask me or everyone else to pay for something that is as simply avoidable as stepping off the railroad tracks to avoid being hit by a train.

  • Oh yeah, here are ...

    Oh yeah, here are some other facts as well.

    1. When you only F**k one person.
    -NO HIV
    -No STDs
    -Better life for children
    -Better life for adults
    -You become a good example for others instead of being a whore/man-whore.

    Don't bother sending a reply, these are facts and connot be disputed in any way. If you try you will look stupid in front of everyone.

  • No, you're wrong. ...

    No, you're wrong. God told us that we should only sleep with one person, and man had nothing to do with that order.
    That being said, even if you don't think God is real, here's the facts that support this way of life.

    1. When you F**k everone, you may get HIV or some STD.
    2. F**king everyone isn't good for relationships.
    3. A failed home (due to F**king everyone) isn't good for children.
    4. F**king everyone after your married will only infect your spouse as well.

    Certain humans say we should only sleep with one person, but [said deity] has never said that. If [said deity] wanted us to be monogamous, [said deity] would have made us that way.

  • Because people have ...

    Because people have sex, its what people do. Some viruses travel by way of sex, hence people get said viruses. I'm not saying safety measures shouldn't be taken but realistically HIV won't stop until a cure or vaccine is developed. P.S. HIV is not a perfect virus, a perfect virus wouldn't kill the host limiting the spread.

  • I know a guy whos ...

    I know a guy whos neighbor's third cousin said... Dude, you're a nutjob. HIV is a real illness and the leading cause of death is not organ failure due to toxic drugs. However, there is good news... Wal-Mart has tin-foil on sale this week so perhaps you can make yourself some hats.

  • From what I ...

    From what I understand the rest of the STDs out there have cures (thank Gods for pennicillin).

    But this is promising news! I've been hearing about structural weaknesses in the cell and the possibility of transferring natural HIV immunity to negative patients, and it looks like, this year more than ever, we are seeing some progress.

    They talk about a magic bullet but this could be a magic Gun!..a weapon against the ability
    of the HIV Virus to penitrate the cellular walls. A protective shield with a life time
    effectiveness.

  • Everyone needs to ...

    Everyone needs to only sleep with one person in their life time. Kind of like how God says it's supposed to be.
    If everyone did this their wouldn't be a problem in the world. Those in Africa and everywhere else need to keep their dicks in their pants. There's no need to complain about HIV. It's humanity's fault. The solution is to live right. Even if you're only doing for scientific reasons, it's the smart way to live.

    And the worst affected countries can't afford the current drugs anyway...that is why they are trying to push the free drugs initiative forward.

  • I think I heard ...

    I think I heard something about this. Like the 'plague' was related to 'HIV', and some people developed immunity for the virus in Asia and Europe and that's why some are immune to 'HIV'. I was actually studying about this, like changing a cells properties by changing the DNA using modified viruses that inject their DNA that makes the cells immune to 'HIV', but, in almost every case, this hasn't worked.
