Would you volunteer your child for experimental gene therapy to make them HIV resistant, a therapy that has never been proven to work and has an unknown risk of permanent side effects?

No, because the chance of my child getting HIV is ridiculously low.

If you shift it to make my child really smart or really pretty, the answer might be different - especially if the parents aren’t especially smart or good looking themselves.
