RESEARCHERS have uncovered a link between blood types and resistance to HIV. Scienceblog.com reports that researchers from the Canadian Blood
Service, SickKids, and Lund University in Sweden “have discovered that certain blood types are more predisposed to contracting HIV, while others are
more effective at fending it off.” Tstudy shows that cells from people who produce a rare antigen, “the Pk blood group” are much less prone to
HIV infection. “This study is not suggesting that your blood type alone determines if you will get HIV,” said the study’s lead author Dr. Don
Branch. But the finding may lead to better therapy.

My further news and google research shows that 1 in a million people have this bloodtype, but it isn't like our normal (-+) A / B / O / AB blood
types, as you can have this blood type and be one of those blood types as well.
What it is going to result in is a treatment, and a preventative for AIDS within the next 5 years according to a radio interview on CBC radio1 here in
the glorious empire of canada.
