In a bold new approach ultimately aimed at trying to cure AIDS, scientists used genetic engineering in six patients to develop blood cells that are resistant to HIV, the virus that causes the disease.

These new awards, totaling nearly $1.5 million, represent amfAR's commitment to funding scientific studies that may reveal how to eliminate the virus altogether. Many consider research focused on viral reservoirs, latent virus and acute HIV infection to be the first steps toward an elusive cure for HIV infection. In the past, scientists have regarded talk of 'AIDS cures' with suspicion," said Dr. Rowena Johnston, who directs amfAR's research program.
