This is the most hopeful thing I've read up on about HIV. I've got a friend, who, I think, could spare his bone marrow for cloning. He's been HIV+ for nearly 20 years, and, even without the cocktails, he's, so far, without AIDS. You'd think that IN those 20 years, the virus would have mutated to the point where it COULD finish him off, but, it hasn't, making me think he's a full fledged mutant with a valuable system that the HIV virus just can't eat. Being so the case, IF he could donate some cells for cloning, man, he could become the savior the of gay world. Well, the guy is no longer gay, just incredibly pious to the point of being a suffering saint, hearing voices as well, due to becoming schizophrenic from, I think, the stress and guilt of it all. Last I heard, he's now living somewhere in Vegas, going absolutely NOwhere with his life, even though he's a genius. He's probably dirt poor. IF he could be PAID for his bone marrow, man.... well, I think I'll email this article to his brother.
