Everyone, do a search on google for HIV Entry Inhibitors and find a wealth of information about CCR5 and CXCR4 which are both CD4 Receptors that the HIV virus binds to in order to enter the cell in the first place. Also, there are inhibitors which are being tested that block the protein "binder" on the virus itself to block its' ability to bind to the CD4 cell as well. Interesting stuff. I am very interested in these entry inhibitors AND Delta32 mutation as stem cell treatment options.

This article is wrongly written when it says "CCR5-Delta32—that produces a protein receptor HIV cannot bind to." In fact is the Delta 32 deletion the reason why CCR5 is not produced and therefore, HIV can not bind to.
