In a groundbreaking breakthrough, researchers have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to remove HIV DNA entirely from human immune cells — and remarkably, those cells stayed HIV-free. But the real game-changer? These edited cells became resistant to new infections, offering a possible pathway to immunity, not just treatment. This is the first time gene editing has shown lasting resistance against the virus in living human cells. Unlike traditional antiretroviral therapy that only suppresses the virus, this technique eradicates it at the genetic level — using CRISPR like a molecular scalpel to snip the virus out of the DNA strand. Scientists now believe we are closer than ever to an actual cure for HIV. If further trials prove safe and scalable, this could be the beginning of the end for one of the world’s deadliest viruses. #CRISPR #HIVCure #GeneEditing #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews
