HIV Cure?
There is medical research in hopes for aids.  The first step is to cure H.I.V., and a man has successfully done so by a specific bone marrow transplant.  However, more recently, a man has gone through a much simpler gene therapy.  However, this was not a cure but briefly controlled the H.I.V.
Question:
Should this gene therapy be used to control the H.I.V but have to go in regularly like dialysis, or should patients have to go though a bone marrow transplant?
