Lowdark 5613 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 Nice post. Researchers in Europe may have also found a way to treat HIV/AIDS with stem cells (they're urging caution while they do more tests) and several years ago, it was discovered that a small percentage of Eastern Europeans had evolved a gene that gave them an increased resistance to viruses like HIV (like the Bubonic Plague, for instance). It will be amazing to see what the next few years bring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 Very cool. And syphilis as well... which is much easier to catch, if also much easier to treat provided you know you've got it before it goes too far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 Last time I went to the clinic for my regular testing, they did the "immediate" test. It was pretty cool but almost creepy to watch the results form right before your eyes. It's kind of like taking a pregnancy test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
