Heartbreaking real life story. Thank you for sharing.
96 was the year that many of these life-saving meds hit the market. At an astronomical price of course.
But those meds started to save lives. Although, rife with side-effects, they kept people alive. I wish we could go back to 96 and save your partner.
Its kind of sad. Today, DR. D. would have you and partner healthy, happy and undetectable. It's sad that we had to lose an entire generation of gay men to HIV.
Bob, hugs. Your partner was a lucky man!

That's great! CRISPRCas9 has already edited out the gene for sickle cell, as well.
