AIDS destroys your body’s immune system, the T- cells. The treatment recovers your T-cells, so that your body can protect itself, with in one day your T-cells will go from 1- 90 Less than 1% of the population is immune to AIDS, they took Steve Krohn’s blood and infected it with the HIV virus and the virus would not attack the man’s T- cells it would just bounce of. Now scientists are working on trying to make a cure based on this man’s reaction to the virus
