Translation Paper

THE YEAR IN IDEAS: A TO Z.; Attaching Good Genes to Bad Viruses

I am rewriting about an article, Is Gene Therapy a Good Therapeutic Approach for HIV-Positive Patients?, published in BioMed Central of Genetic Vaccines and Therapy. It discusses how gene therapy approaches against HIV-1 infection and the application of these treatment options in current and ongoing clinical trials.

My purpose of rewriting this article is to educate them some about gene therapy and its effectives toward HIV infection. Because not many of us know about the gene therapy itself and how that can change scientific facts. And to propose some facts that have been found from the long-term research and clinical trials, which arise advances and options available in gene therapy for HIV-1 infection. I mostly am targeting at an audience, who have relatives or know someone who is HIV infected. I also want them to be more open-minded about other options that possibly save lives. I would like to see their reactions as being shocked, surprised and concerned. I also want to see how much they are willing to take steps that may change everything forever by thinking what matters the most. It may be challenging to have them ask themselves in regarding of gene therapy and HIV infection.
