German scientists develop new treatment for AIDS - a way to actually cut out the modified DNA and reverse the effects of the retrovirus.

Holy shit. That is sci-fi alive.

Sounds dangerous. Like it could drastically increase cancerous mutations.

Possibly, if their enzyme changes or if the AIDS chain it looks for changes - but in all the strains of AIDS so far, that chain is the same.

And that's why they need the next decade of testing in rats and then in human subjects.
