HIV is an incurable disease - or is it? It turns out that some people are naturally immune to HIV, and their genes can be used in to remove the virus from a patient鈥檚 system altogether. But given that HIV is a new disease, how did this resistance evolve? And what does this mean for the millions living with the condition? Kat Arney digs into the buried past of the 鈥淗IV gene鈥, and its life-saving future, with Dr Stephen O鈥橞rien and Dr Ravi Gupta.
