The helper t cells dont have the receptor to pick up HIV and HIV cant attack them so therefore they cant get HIV. good stuff for them.
I hope their making a cure from those people's DNA or whatever. ed:
It would be nice but its impossible. Youd have to do it to every single cell in your body. Which is impossible there are trillions of cells. We could do it before birth by altering basepairs in the genetic code but unfortunatly we do not have the knowledge to do so.
actually now that I think about that, I think we would be able to... if we do it early enough. We all know of stem cells, that are basically wild cards cells. But the stem cell turns into a specific type of stem cell before it's assigned to a certain type of plain cell. There are muscle stem cells.. tissue stem cells etc. I think we could code/alter them to not be affected by HIV... then again I have no idea what I"m talking about.[/quote:c11ec]

Its very hard to alter the code to get exactly what we want which is a helper t cell that lacks the necessary receptor to get HIV. Whatd wed have to do is look at all the code for a normal person and find out which combos do what. Then compare that with the person with the immunity. The possibility of ever getting the code right is damn near impossible. Seeing how we barely know enough to karyotype and see if the kids going to be normal, let alone know what color the eyes are.[/quote:c11ec]

Once again, it is not far from possible to find the irregularity that enables these people to be immune to HIV... Ever hear of a DNA chip?

'Google Mother Fucker! Use It!'

It will basically point out which genes you have that are 'deformed' compared to perfect DNA. Obvious mutations such as eye color and hair color will be omitted.
