   I know nothing about AIDS, so I hope someone will have the patience to  
answer my stupid questions that I am sure have easy answers tha everyone should  
know about:
 
   If AIDS is just a problem with the immune system, why can't we take T-Cells  
(is that what they are called?) from a healthy person and give them to an AIDS  
person to make them better?
 
   Also, Can the immune system be taught to battle AIDS (just like chiken pox)  
cause we could just develop an immunity shot to give a small dosage of AIDS to  
the person.
 
  Sorry if my questions are dumb, but I would like to kjnow the answer..
