This is the J&J/Tibotec thing, right? 

I found this article from July 30, 2007 that does mention the gene therapy study but doesn't say a whole lot about it:

"Tibotec has even invested in a long-shot gene-therapy experiment to produce a line of immune cells that are themselves immune to HIV and its effects. This approach has been kicked around casually for more than 15 years, but Tibotec's is the single serious study up and running. In fact, Tibotec, along with Merck, is the only company in all of pharma looking for the cure. "

So I guess this means it's still going on?

there is another thread where this was discussed extensively.  as far as I know still no news.  J220 was in touch with someone in the study who was also in the press some time  ago and I asked to him see if he could reach the guy again, but so far I don't think he's been able.  This has been frustrating as there were high expectations for the outcome of this...  maybe write to someone at Tibotec?
