Immune deficiency? Yes, but due to a virus. Treatment, in lieu of cure, is by suppression of viral activity, thus prolonging life of the human victim. However, a virus is a living entity, which invades the human body, and must surely have the strengths and weaknesses of any independent biological being. If the virus originated with chimpanzees, do such apes have a stronger immune system than humans? Maybe some succumb, but not in epidemic numbers. Then there is the case of some African women (prostitutes) who seem immune. "Know your enemy!" A person was condemned recently because he "understood Hitler". Yes, even Hitler was human, with feelings and motives; same with Osama bin Laden. There was a time when your local dentist used to tend your teeth with bare hands and open face. Not any more; (s)he resembles an astronaut - for fear of HIV-AIDS.
