So, what if we approached this with the same type of mindset that one would use to defeat a specific type of pest that is not indigenous to an area? Using a natural enemy to defeat the initial issue?

My theory is this.....

using specified genetic properties of the lupus antibodies engineered to attack the immune system cells that are infected with the HIV virus to kill those cells before the virus can replicate. I theorize that by doing this it will prevent the HIV virus from spreading which will eventually force the virus to die out as its killed off before it can replicate.

Now, if there are some bright and intelligent people whose interests lie in the fields I've stated maybe they could help theorize and further this idea or shoot it down with the reasons why.
