There is evidence that some people of northern European descent have a certain genetic characteristic making them (apparently) immune to HIV, or at least to the HIV mutations as they currently exist. I'm a little uncomfortable contributing this in the fear that some may make unreasonable assumptions and take unnecessary risks. This genetic characteristic is rare, and I certainly wouldn't want to bet the farm on a flimsy hope and end up with a condition that I can't undo.
