It's all in the genes

I don't think this study reveals anything new.  As far as I know the
AIDS industry has used the 'gene excuse' for a long time to explain
why some 'HIV patients' die quickly while others don't.

I wonder where this leaves those accused of passing on 'HIV' through
sex?  It's not the donor's fault if the recipient is inbreed and not
equipped with a varied gene pool to deal with 'HIV' naturally. :)

"International researchers, co-led by a Swiss team, have discovered
three genes in the DNA of HIV-infected patients that offer protection
against the virus.

They say the findings should aid the search for a vaccine to boost the
effects of the genes and help the body's immune system overcome
infection.

The results, published on Thursday in the journal Science, stem from
the first ever study analysing how the human genome responds to the
virus that causes Aids.

'We found three genes that were very powerful against the virus. If
you have the good luck to have these gene variants, they will protect
you from the virus,' Amalio Telenti of Lausanne University's institute
of microbiology told swissinfo."

After 25 years someone thought to do that, wow.

The carot, a possible cure. Lol a quest for more funding
is more like it.

After 25 years some-one thought to do that, wow.
Sounds like another billion down the drain.
