For years, people were wondering when can
they stop wearing condoms while having s*x
with their partners, well it looks like the time is
right around the corner.

It seems the long awaited cure for human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – a lentivirus
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 CONDOMS . . . 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.
