People show there support during an news conference and rally Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at the Utah State Capitol, in Salt Lake City. Protesters pushing for Utah to adopt a statewide anti-discrimination law protecting sexual and gender orientation returned to the state Capitol three weeks after they were arrested for blocking entrances to committee rooms. The group held a news conference Wednesday afternoon to continue pressing for the law, which has been stalled this session. Republican leaders at the Legislature have called for a moratorium this year on any issues they fear could affect the state's pending legal challenge over its same-sex marriage ban.

FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2011 file photo, Jay Johnson speaks during an interview at the University of Pennsylvania. Johnson, who works for Action AIDS, an advocacy and service organization in Philadelphia, had gene therapy treatment for HIV in 2011. Although the virus rebounded when he temporarily went off HIV medicines, tests show his modified blood cells are still multiplying. In 2014 he says, "I was hoping I wouldn't have to stay on medication" but eventually it may no longer be needed, he said. "Hopefully one day I'll be able to say I'm HIV negative again."

In this January 2013 photo provided by Penn Medicine, technicians in Penn Medicine’s Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility in Philadelphia hold up a bag of modified T cells genetically modified to resist HIV infection. Scientists have modified genes in the blood cells of HIV patients to help them resist the AIDS virus, and say the treatment seems safe and promising. The results give hope that this approach might one day free at least some people from needing medicines to keep HIV under control. Results of the study at the University of Pennsylvania were published in the Thursday, March 6, 2014 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. (AP Photo/Penn Medicine, Peggy Peterson Photography)

Dr. Audra Deveikis, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach, Calif., poses for a photo at an AIDS conference Wednesday, March 5, 2014, in Boston. Dr. Deveikis was involved in the treatment of a baby born with the AIDS virus, who may have had her infection put into remission and possibly cured by very early treatment — in this instance, four hours after birth.(AP Photo/Rodrique Ngowi)
