| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Clinical studies and clinical trials are currently being conducted using a persons own stem cells. Different strategies are being explored. For instance, putting genes into stem cells with the hope these cells will differentiate into t cells that resist HIV infection or produce different chemicals which fight the infection better. It just takes time and money. | ||||||||
