HIV Immunity?

"This discovery has significant implications for the development of effective gene therapy to combat AIDS," says Jonathan Stoye, the study's lead researcher. "In theory, it should be possible to take cells from an HIV-infected individual, make them resistant to HIV infection with the modified gene and reintroduce them into the patient. These cells could then block progression to AIDS."

"In theory." Lets all pray it works.
:thumbsup

something like .5 percent of humans are also immune to AIDS.

I hope it works. This would be a major breakthrough in medical science.

i remember reading up on people that were immune to hiv because of some weird mutated gene.... thats what i thought this was about - not monkeys.

i also heard about some african prostitutes that are immune as well and they take around 10 guys a day without comdom

Sooner or later there will be a cure and then there will be something else that will come along i hope for the best though...

Care to test it and share the results? :winkwink:

A freind of mine in NZ found out he was HIV+ about 20 years years ago and hasnt had so much as a sore throat since. A couple of years ago this lab in Melbourne flew him over and took a load of his blood. They dropped some heavy hints that this sort of thing was in the pipeline.

I do hope so........

That's hot?
:upsidedow

Gives the term "double blind experiment" a whole new meaning
:(

dunt hav butsekz

sorry to say this but the world is so overpopulated we need diseases like aids

yeah i've heard about how the african prostitutes are immune to hiv as well. but you have to realize that the main strain of hiv there is much less deadly than the one here.

is it?! I tought it was the other way around

Yes, human suffering & dying is much more preferable than planning out a sane way of living on this planet.

shit!

lol..........

That would be awesome!!

one day one of these will be the answer to our prayers

It seems we have an entry for the least educated and intelligent post of the day. Good grief.

Whats the daily number of infected people?

Shut the fuck up imbecile.....Why don't you give a blowjob to a 357 Magnum barrel yourself so that we don't have to look at your useless posts anymore. The idiot population on gfy is too large and the herd needs to be thinned.

Rot in hell u c,unt

Im so pissed off today its not wise to make cracks like this

Im likely to hunt u down and slice your fucking throat....
:mad: :mad:

Viruses like this scare the crap out of me. If AIDS and HEP C didn't exist, I'd be fucking like there's no tomorrow...

If AIDS, HIV, cancer, wars and other deseases didn't exist, the world would become over populated in a few years.

And peolpe would start killing off each other in battles for natural resourses.

so? i'd rather it be that than watching a loved one die hopelessly.

at least you would actually have a chance in such a scenario.

What's the difference between watching a loved one die of aids or of a shotgun wound ?

Besides, there would be much more deaths because much more people would be fighting. And who knows what it would turn out to. Nuclear wars aren't much fun.

U fucking moron... we would just adapt, the same as we always have

HIV is horid... but it hardly makes an impact on the population problems we are suffering/going to suffer from

I have watched too many of my friends die to accept this shit from scum like you :mad:

man speaks his mind and people wanna kill him......key key key keyboard ninja's coming up next week they take on the great juicy links over words of him cheating on izz

This thread went to shit, thnx to a certain few. :gfy123

Adapt to what ?
Imagine 15 billion of people without gas, oil, food, fresh water living in a toxic / poluted wasteland. People would suffer jus as much, if not more.

HIV, AIDS, Canser and other terminal deseases and natural disasters have a GREAT deal in population controll.

Go read a book, dumbass.

temper temper

Me too and hopefully give hope to a lot of people ;-)

It's the GFY way.


:winkwink:

I have to agree with others...The human race is already growing at an unsustainable rate and we're going to have to level off somewhere. Look at what they're doing in China; if you get caught having more than one kid you will be sterilized.

I think the sentinel from The Matrix said it best when he said "The human race is a disease to the world"

HIV/AIDS are the same thing - u mean cancer - and diseases

Go read a fucking dictionary, dumbass.

Technically, it's not the same thing.
You actually can't die of HIV.
You die only of AIDS.

HIV = virus.
AIDS = phisical condition.

This is true.


:2 cents:

That would be physical... again I suggest a dictionary

AIDS is the phYsical condition caused by HIV

HIV is what kills you... AIDS is just a set of symtoms
