yes, and they're already talking about this. they haven't found a cure, they've found a new route to pursue in finding a cure. People are now talking about pursuing gene therapy as a possible cure. about 1000 people in the US and britain have a gene that repels the HIV virus. it is inherited from both the mother and the father. Some kind of gene exists that repels the HIV virus, the story is that they are now looking for ways to use it to find a cure.
