Big leap forward in the treating of HIV

So, basically, some Canadian scientists can pick up the PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) protein, which is an ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) which is overexpressed when immune system cells are infected with HIV, and can stimulate it which means the T cells are no longer made dysfunctional so are free to go about their business destroying viruses.
By the way this is huge, Dr. Rafick-Pierre Sékaly my hat goes off to you.

If you're bored just imagine some crazy Star Trek ships all "pow pow" at eachother and the good guys are the T cells and the bad guys are HIV, played on screen by whichever species you dislike the most in Star Trek. In real life now, serious times: If you have a microscope powerful enough you can see the photon beams from ships and as our technology advances we will be able to say hi to them and possibly trick them into believing we're gods. Dibs on the obedient ones, the disobedient ones being I guess cancer cells.
