Sad but true. I am extremely happy that there is finally some kind of promising breakthrough concerning HIV. Its kinda a shame that the treatment has to be tailor made for each individual person, and isn't something that can be handed out to everyone (not that this would happen anyway, its all about the $, fuck saving lives) but its still great news.
FYI for those who don't know, there are people are born immune to the effect of HIV. HIV attatches itself to a very specific "socket" on white blood cells. Not everyone has this "socket" and are therefore immune to the effects of the virus. I think some drugs they have already block this socket so HIV cant connect to the white blood cells as well and turn them into a factory for making more HIV. (the virus connects to the cell and then uses the cell to replicate itself)
