&gt; the T-cell samples extracted through that process will be sent to a lab, where they will be genetically altered in a process developed by AGT. He said AGT believes the genetically altered T-cells will make them resistant to HIV infection and enable them to do what HIV has prevented human T-cells from doing during the course of the 40-year plus HIV epidemic – to neutralize the virus and prevent it from harming the human body.<p>So you&#x27;ll still have the virus, and be able to give it to others, but your immune system won&#x27;t be compromised?

At $200k for treatment I don&#x27;t see insurance companies covering this.

Has this been tested in animals? I see no mention of this.
