Aids could very well be a dead disease in the next 50 years.

in another article i read lately the have found a gen that causes immunity to the HIV virus . After gays in the US and europe began reporting they still havent got the virus after years of "contact" with hiv patients they began researching the cause . It turns out that some people are resistant to it by nature .

After detailed research they discovered the gen that causes people to be immune to hiv is related to the gen that cause immunity to the plague .
Since europe knew a real massacre due to the plague in the dark ages the number of people who have the gen in europe and the US is enormous ( survival of the fittest is the past )

this would explain the rather limited infection rate in the west and the massacre in Africa ( who strange enough never knew a plague outbrake in the dark ages )

they are now going to dig up graves in europe from b4 the plague and compare them to bodies from later ages . If we get gen therapy working in a few years a vaccin is allready on the designtables .

the immunity gene has been known about for some time... apparently people that are immune to the plague are also immune to HIV... they use the same receptor.
