I believe China performed CRISPR on a few individuals by inserting genes of people who are naturally immune to HIV. It was already done, it’s just unreasonably expensive to do on every single individual. That was reported a few years ago and then the people and the scientists disappeared. There was also the case in Germany where somebody had a stem cell transplant from an individual who had natural immunity to HIV and that recipient became HIV negative. It’s another example of somebody who is cured of HIV, but it’s way too expensive and risky to do on the average person
