Today, my topic is going to be about the most famous and life-threatening causing disease in the world. And that is HIV. For many of you who do not know what HIV is it stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and is a virus which causes severe damage to the immune system or in other words “Attacks your immune system”. Your immune system protects you from pathogens (microorganisms like a bacterium, virus, etc. that can cause disease) and HIV is the pathogen. White blood cells (or leukocytes) are cells of the immune system that are involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign material. Five different and diverse types of white blood cells exist. They live for about three to four days in the average human body and are located in different locations like the blood or within tissues. And HIV affects these cells leaving your body with no protection. HIV causes the disease “AIDS” if it gets to a certain level or stage and there are four stages of HIV. HIV has been circulating among people for about 100 years decades longer than scientist had thought. As long as people suffering from this virus take the medications required (ART and ARV), it will maximally suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease but is still no cure of HIV or aids so far. This is where my topic gets interesting and easier to understand. I know what you readers are thinking or what first came to mind. Is there finally a cure for HIV? Well not necessarily but this process I am about to explain has some great information and facts that you’ll want to know either if you have HIV or not. Reintroducing my topic “Can Gene Therapy Cure HIV?” is a chance. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease and in this case it is so far a success for HIV. Engineering a patient’s own immune cells to resist HIV could eliminate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapies. Scientist mod
