Researches explore gene treatment to obliterate HIV before it does damage
The criteria for potential study participants are strict at this stage: men and women with HIV who are between ages 18 and 45, on only the first or second round of anti-retroviral therapy, a relatively low amount of virus in the blood (less than 50 particles per milliliter of blood) and a reasonably high level of T cells (300 cells per microliter of blood or greater). Pregnant women or those with any AIDS-related illnesses will not be included in this trial. Those who are interested should call (650) 723-6231.
If you know someone who fits those requirements, get this to them ASAP. This is really serious, ground breaking research on HIV and could actually CURE them, as I understand it. But even if it works it will be years (5+) before it is generally available.
