Alternate approaches to HIV treatment

In my earlier blog, I had written about alternative approaches of drug discovery for HIV infections. I recently read a blog about engineered E.coli that could solve Sudoko puzzle, (of all things !!!!). The writer feels that the organisms used in the experiment can no longer be called bacteria or virus due to the huge amount of engineering done to them. This made me think if it was possible to use such engineered organisms to tackle the HIV challenge.
All of my ideas are currently in a theoretical stage. I feel that further study and research into these arenas will reveal a promising solution to the HIV situation.
