I wasn't aware that humans could create retroviruses... I was talking with my mom about this who has a degree in microbiology and biochemistry from UT, and she said as far as she knew, humans could slightly modify retroviruses, but since we can't create the necessary RNA for a retrovirus, what the woman put forth is rather kuckoo-brained and not based in factual science at all. If you think about it, if we could create retroviruses, we'd find a cure a lot quicker, because if you know how to make it, you'll also know how to unmake it.
