Reply to comment by MarginCalled1 in A bold effort to cure HIV—using Crispr by Sariel007

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but is there not widely available medication that now effectively Rids one of detectable levels of HIV? Meaning, you can live a normal life without it turning into aids?

Pretty much, yes. But you still have to take those pills for the rest of your life. And they can have side effects. And you can't really have a truly normal love life, though many will find a partner accepting of the risks (especially if on meds and viral loads are undetectable).

My assumption is it would be harder to find people accepting of it, but I could obviously be wrong about that. Glad it wasn't an issue for you!
