Immunity To HIV Virus: How True Is It Please? by Shascky33: 11:56am On Aug 05, 2022 |
I happened to have a conversation with a student of School of Health in Keffi, Nasarawa state. She says some people are naturally immune to the HIV virus as they have encapsulated immune system. To the medical students on this platform, please how true is it? A rational explanation please. Thank you. |

Shascky33:A small proportion of humans show partial or apparently complete innate resistance to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The main mechanism is a mutation of the gene encoding CCR5, which acts as a co-receptor for HIV. It is estimated that the proportion of people with some form of resistance to HIV is under 10%. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_resistance_to_HIV#:~:text=A%20small%20proportion%20of%20humans,to%20HIV%20is%20under%2010%25. |

One out of every one hundred Caucasian have been proved to have natural immunity against HIV. But we blacks nobody to help us research so don't go fucking thinking you have the immune. The study didn't include black population |
