[Cuddly]

Just to make sure nobody jumps the gun (pun intended), it will be years before (if ever) this becomes available. So keep your pants on!

Progress!

A team of scientists have developed an enzyme that removes HIV from its integrated position in the DNA of infected mice.

This is great and fascinating news. However, I will hold my celebrations till it's actually been tried on humans, and when actual men with HIV have been cured of the disease.

Until then, we still have HIV, and as well as the current drugs manage to keep its progression in check, it is still a deadly and an atrocious condition.
