While this gene is fully activated against other retroviruses, it does not have the same effect on HIV. The potential for gene therapy to treat HIV-infected individuals is being explored, either by introducing the protective gene into their bodies or developing drugs that can activate the human gene. However, more research is needed before gene therapy for AIDS becomes a reality.\n
