A member asked:
Because roaches are so resistant to germs and viruses, can they possibly hold the cure to hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: A small proportion of humans are naturally resistant to hiv. The molecular basis of this resistance is known. However, with one exception, this knowledge has not yet translated into treatment or prevention.
