This blip of an article discusses some recent research into a gene that could be used to control HIV. The article is very brief. The research is in it's early stages. But this gene seems to affect some level of anti-viral properties in the body. This MX2 gene appears capable of preventing HIV from replicating copies of itself. Therefore, it can't spread in the body.
The research is just underway. They aren't sure if this will be a gene therapy or lead to a new medication. It's something to keep an eye on though.
Cya...
