I wonder if 23andme shows CCR5. Or is there anyway to check from 23andme data if we've decreased risk of catching HIV.

Yes, it does. Alongside other similar variants, like the FUT2 mutation that prevents norovirus.

Looks like they took that part out after the FDA told them to. You you still download your genome and look that part up yourself from them, though. Possibly by using something like Prometease.
