No More Condoms! Scientists Finds Cure For HIV/AIDS.. Is This For Real? by Galaxdiva(f): 12:56pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
It seems the long awaited cure for human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – a lenti-virus
that causes HIV infection and over time
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS,
has been invented by scientists.
Below is how popular U.S gossip website,
MediaTakeOut reported the story:
For years, people were wondering WHEN CAN
THEY REMOVE THEIR C0ND0MS . . . well it
looks like it’s right around the corner.
Scientists have for the FIRST TIME EVER –
proved that they can CURE HIV. Yesterday
scientists CONFIRMED that they were able to
edit out HIV-1 DNA from the genome of
human
immune cells, preventing virus replication and
reinfection of the cleared cells.
In layman’s language, they used GENE
THERAPY to cure HIV in HUMAN cells.
Dr. Kamel Khalili, director of the
Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at Temple
University claims that they are ready to put
his
new gene therapy into a new drug that will
cure
HIV in patients even after they stop taking
the
drugs.
“The findings are important on multiple
levels.
They demonstrate the effectiveness of our
gene
editing system in eliminating HIV from the
DNA
of CD4 T-cells and, by introducing mutations
into the viral genome, permanently
inactivating
its replication. Further, they show that the
system can protect cells from reinfection and
that the technology is safe for the cells, with
no
toxic effects,” Khalili said in a press release. 1 Like 1 Share |
