I read this article on google news today. It sounds very promising.

sounds very promising, but I hope they stream line the process. The idea of being put on the brink of death first, sound pretty harsh.

Replacing all the WBC in your body is not exactly what I would call a cure, but I guess technically it could be..

Having AIDS myself I wouldn't do it unless I was on my death bed to begin with. I wouldn't deplete my CD4s on a risk that has only worked for one person and that was just by accident. I've had to have bone morrow tests and that isn't a walk in the park. If a gene therapy is found and proven, that will be another story, but until then, no thank you.

There was another article in The Daily Telegraph this week (Monday IIRC)  about a different therapy. I think it involved removing immunoglobulin, culturing it in vitro and putting it back 'supercharged'.
