Here's a good Wikipedia article on the protein. The gene for this protein is in humans, it just doesn't target HIV in humans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM5alpha

Haven't had a chance to read through the article yet, but here it is via ScienceDirect for all those interested: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.virol.2010.06.015

You'll need a subscription to Virology to view it or institutional access though.

Or late night orgies. What is so bad about that? Sex is pleasure. Everyone should be able to have the pleasure if so they please.
