Question
1- Do the genetic factore have any affects on prtection from A.I.D.s (H.i.v) illness ?
2- do the advanced geiticetty plants have any cuce for cancer ?
Dear Ameraalshaar,
1 - Yes, very likely. Although most people are susceptible to infection by HIV, there are a few individuals who do not develop full-blown AIDS even though they are HIV positive. It's also possible, though difficult to determine, that some people exposed to the virus have immune systems that may recognize and destroy it before it is able to enter the T-cells.
2 - I am not sure what you mean by "advanced geiticetty plants". If you could check the spelling and ask again, I will do my best to help.
Dana
