A SMALL fraction of Ugandans have been able to naturally knock off HIV from their body, a development that could lead to an HIV vaccine, scientists have said.

I commend the scientists for this great achievement tnat puts Africa somewhere in the science field,Aids is Africa's problem and we should solve it as that.However this should not promote further carelessness.As the scientists do their bit let Ugandans and other Africans live responsibly.
Congratulations, you found them. Now, do you know what to do with them?
I'm guessing Uganda will pursue a "goose that laid the golden egg" approach... kill them all, cut them up, and sell their flesh and organs as a cure for AIDS. Hey, doing it with endangered species works better than Viagra!
I MUST COMMEND THE SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO ACHIEVE THIS FEAT-AT LEAST IDENTIFYING THE FACT THAT THERE IS SUCH RESISTANCE.WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT,AT LEAST THE SEARCH FOR A CURE IS NEARLY AT AN END.
MY ONLY ADVICE IS THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE VIGILANT AND NOT ALLOW PEOPLE WHO STAND TO GAIN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION.
I ALSO PRAY THAT THE RESEARCH GOES WELL AND RESULTS EMERGE SO WE COULD SAVE THE LIVES OF THE DYING AND PROTECT THE LIVING.
