      That's so incredible! A step in a good direction, and hey, every new treatment helps.

        It's like something out of one of the RPGs I play! (We tend to stack Awesome on top of Cool on top of Impossible on top of Shurikens on top of Fire on top of Tengen Toppa Guren Laggan. It's that fun. X-x )
        Honestly, it's about damn time that bitch went to work (re AIDS/HIV). Who's a good little plague? Who's a little angel-blight-on-humanity? Yes, yes you are!/snoggles it with a finger
        (what?)

          This post has me wondering if ThinkGeek has an HIV plush in their plush microbe collection...

            They do. It's just as ugly as the real thing.

              The thing of it is, the "HIV" isn't actually the exact same stuff that turns into AIDS and kills people-- it's modified to eat the leukemia! So, no, from my understanding, you don't have to worry about HIV now... although I'm guessing blood safety protocols should be followed anyway...
