HIV lentivirus vectors are used to combat AIDS. The vector virus carries a
genetic message that gets stored in the patient’s immune cells. When HIV
attacks these immune cells, the vector DNA blocks the attacking virus from
replicating itself, effectively protecting the patient from further infection. So
far, this treatment seems to work and substantially reduces the amount of
virus carried by affected persons.
