The HIV Gene
Why are some people naturally immune to HIV? And how can their DNA help scientists find a cure? With Dr Kat Arney.
HIV is an incurable disease - or is it? It turns out that some people are naturally immune to HIV, and their genes can be used in to remove the virus from a patient鈥檚 system altogether. But given that HIV is a new disease, how did this resistance evolve? And what does this mean for the millions living with the condition? Kat Arney digs into the buried past of the 鈥淗IV gene鈥�, and its life-saving future, with Dr Stephen O鈥橞rien and Dr Ravi Gupta.
