[0:00] Possible

[0:03] progress tonight in the fight against

[0:04] AIDS. Researchers discover substances

[0:07] produced by the human body that perhaps

[0:09] can suppress the AIDS virus. This could

[0:12] lead to new treatments.

[0:14] >> I want to be a killing man.

[0:16] >> I'm going to kill Uncle

[0:19] >> Getting Psyched and Getting Set. The

[0:21] First US Armored Division heading to

[1:13] important findings, two sets of

[1:15] scientists say they have identified

[1:17] specific substances our bodies produce

[1:20] that may actually suppress HIV, the

[1:22] virus that causes AIDS. A leading AIDS

[1:25] researcher is encouraged but urges
