Aids Virus Hacked By Researchers


Recommended Posts

Researchers in Italy have hacked the DNA of the AIDS virus, and have used the modified virus to cure a rare genetic disease. Using the CRISPR cas9 Method, scientists were able to change which DNA the virus modifies. Instead of destroying your immune system the virus can insert new DNA of the scientists choosing. So theoretically a scientist could alter the AIDS virus to instead turn straights into super horny cum sluts. Anyone care to run with this premise?

Viral therapy has been used for a while to combat very serious forms of cancer. They re-engineer the virus to attack cancer cells. Unfortunately if your already infected and/or treated the therapy is not applicable. One of the more promising treatments is measels therapy but since almost everyone in the 1st world has been vacinated, it's only seldomly effective. HIV therapy was branched out from this and has been effective but still very controversial.
