AIDS Cure

There may be an immunization for the AIDs disease.  After several years of research, scientists did an experiment with nine patients to test a possible solution.  In this experiment, they first took the immune cells from HIV-positive patients’ own blood and then snipped out a single gene.  Following that, they put the cells back into the patient and realized that the cells no longer made a receptor that the virus needs to enter the cell; thus blocking HIV.  These results have been shown at an AIDs Conference and will hopefully sprout out to bring a possible end to the deadly virus.
