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.
I never saw this, on what screen can we find it? Do you've any screenshot or navigation URL?
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.
What decisions would you be making that are impacted by that information?
Only serves curiousity, won't be basis for participating in any risky activity.
