There is a tribe of women in africa whos' bodeis can reject the aids virus..anyone know where?

I watched a show a few years ago on aids research and there was a tribe I think in nyroby and there bodies can reject the aids virus. scientist have studied this and it's true. are there any videos archives newspaper articles on this subject matter thank you..

Here's what I found. Seems this site is reporting mutant genes that were immune to it were only found in caucasions until these two newest women from China were discovered. It'll give you a place to start anyway.

Two women found with HIV-immune mutant gene

Francis Plummer provided his first description of apparent immunity to HIV at the World AIDS Conference in Berlin. By then, 29 commercial sex workers from the Nairobi cohort remained HIV negative. A similar report followed a year later by Sarah Rowland-Jones and colleagues at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, who presented data on sex workers in Gambia who also appear immune to HIV. The British group recently reported that five out of six Gambian female sex workers they are following were repeatedly exposed to HIV and remain uninfected. They also had robust cellular immune, or CTL, responses that appeared to abort the infection before it could take hold.

At last year's World AIDS Conference in Geneva, Plummer updated his results with 90 women who continue to test antibody negative after repeated exposure to HIV. Of them, a half-dozen have been uninfected since 1985, when they first came to the clinic. The average woman has four to five sex partners a day, and uses a condom 75 percent of the time. Based on surveys, 25 percent of their sexual partners are HIV infected. That spells hundreds of exposures to HIV over a decade. The women have been exposed to a wide variety of viral strains prevalent in the local population, based on laboratory analyses of their immune responses.





SHENZHEN: Two women have been identified as carrying a mutant gene that is immune to HIV/AIDS, the first such cases uncovered in China, a researcher said.

The finding is the joint effort of a research programme, "Association of Human Genetic Polymorphisms with HIV Affections," jointly conducted by the University of Washington in the US State of Washington and local Infectious Disease Hospitals and medical institutions in Guangdong Province.

Tuofu Zhu, associate professor of University of Washington and associate director of the Clinical Core at the Centre for AIDS Research (CFAR), introduced the programme to China a year ago as a part of his global research in nations in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

"Before, such mutant genes were only found in Caucasians. The finding has encouraged us to do further research in China, with the aim of developing medicines to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS for different races,"said Zhu.

Whatever happened in that show I've no idea.However they're was a group of women(prostitutes)who appeared to be able to withstand the vigors of the virus.The theory was that as these women had muliple partners.The stronger male sperm killed of the weaker sperm.In doing so this left the stronger male sperm much weaker and the womans immune system was able to nullify the virus.Don't know how it finished up.The virus is still rampant world wide

It's a number of prostitutes, not a tribe.
