CRISPR research has one problem. If an HIV person's veins are crap because of all the medical procedures that the patient has had to endure, such as chemotherapy, that person is excluded from all Crispr studies. If the person went through chemotherapy, the person is excluded. In other words, the people who most need to be cured are not being accepted into any Crispr study. Hope to be proven wrong, but I have been denied for at least 5 studies. I finally gave up volunteering.
While this is encouraging, it is just one of MANY stories over the last 30 years talking of 'progress towards POTENTIAL cure'. When the article about clinical trials for the cure come out, I will actually have hope. This carrot being dangled at every turn is becoming tiresome. We have the technology and the money in our wealthy country, so what's the holdup? Oh, wait - BIG PHARMA will not allow a cure, so it seems we are only going to continue to be placated.

I am looking for company or university that can extract naive CD4 and crspr CCR5 gene, then propagate and reinfuse to bolster flailing CD4 count, it is my understanding a treatment like this would need to be done every 4 years
