This just out about how researchers have created an assassin T-CELL that targets cells infected with HIV as it targets the cells antigen SL9 and easily kills it in the lab. Also amazing is that when the virus tried to change it's antigen to disquise it'self the assassin T Cell still recognized it and easily killed it.

Human trials start next year.

Then it would seem that God has designed a virus that penalizes disproportionately. God apparently thinks that receiving unprotected anal intercourse and IV drug use are REALLY bad, giving unprotected anal intercourse is considerable less bad, garden variety unprotected heterosexual intercourse is not very bad at all and that having a blood transfusion is sometimes worthy of a little smite. Oh, and apparently he has a thing about uncircumcised black males.

I think he might be refering to this:
Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They didn't "engineer" the syphilis, but it was still a messed up situation.

It won't work on humans because the bodies immune system might mistake it as a threat. And end up attacking it which would leave the body weaker to fighting off HIV. Which would make HIV stronger in the bodies presence.

The bodies immune system might mistake what......are you talking about the Assassin T Cells? If the immature T Cells are taken from the hosts body or thymus then it should fit in with all the other Immune Cells of the host.

As for will it work or not i don't know but i do wish them well in this and many other diseases scientists are working on.

Yes. I don't believe it is that simple. But we will see and watch that nothing will come from this.

the main reason for there not being a cure for the common cold is there are sooo many variations of the strain. It would not be worth the effort to produce many many different medications for each and every strain of the virus. Not to mention by the time you find out what strain you have, your body has already fought off the attack.
