I should correct myself:
The Nairobi prostitutes have been studied for almost twelve years now, since 1994.
Source: yet ANOTHER Science Channel documentary I ran across just recently.
I thought this was new information -- and apparently, so did just about everyone else.
The shitty aspect of this is that if we've known about a potential natural immunity for almost twelve years... and have not yet isolated the genetic mutation responsible... well... doesn't seem too promising for the near future. But at least it is SOMETHING to keep studying.
