Okiedust has it right. What we are learning about the immune response via AIDS research is leading to developments across the human disease spectrum.

That said, would that we could have bypassed the AIDS situation, but life is not that simple.

What we are learning about the immune response via AIDS research is leading to developments across the human disease spectrum.

We could even learn to create genetic "triggers" that could be injected into the body to get the body itself to kick in and cure itself.
