Cancer. No question.
AIDS is almost* virtually 100% preventable. Some cancers are preventable, but most are not.
AIDS is of course important to humanity to cure too, but personally, I would rather see research for Cancers get some of that AIDS money.
*Before aids rights people get into a tizzy, I said ALMOST. I realize rapes, blood transfusions, etc cannot be helped.. but most people now get it from drug use and unprotected sex.... which is preventable.

Many forms of cancer are preventable too. Lung cancer, skin cancer, mouth cancer are all easily preventable if you treat your body right. And many others can be detected early and treated assuming you properly check yourself.
Cancer is not preventable in the same way HIV/AIDS is. Yes you can reduce your risk factors, and yes, early treatment offers better odds. However, the factors that cause a person to develop cancer are much more complex than simply virus transmission (which we understand quite well). Until we understand all of the factors that determine who develops cancer and who doesn't, it will not be "preventable" in the same manner as HIV/AIDS.
I'd have to go with cancer on this one, mainly because so many instances of HIV infection are preventable.

The Libs want an HIV/AIDS cure more than anything because they are all about free love and sex without consequences. (They are really pro-abortion for the same reason.)
Of course, I think a cancer panacea should be more important.

I would say the cure for cancer, since AIDS is mostly spread by dirty lifestyles. Sure, once in a while you'll get a highly publicized case about someone who got AIDS from a blood transfusion, but the vast majority of the time it's caused by people whoring around, and they're just getting what they bring on themselves.
If you define "Libs" as "people who are all about free love and sex without consequences." then yes, that's true.
A single pill that provides a longer, harder erection, alleviates depression, and restores hair loss.
Why? Because it's more likely to be marketed on espn42 before a cure for cancer/AIDS is even discovered.

At the moment. Hopefully the spread of AIDS can be if not halted, slowed a lot, so it doesn't become one of the main killers.
BUT: Even if we find cures, that means very little. TB was one of the biggest killers in the 19th entury (in the UK), now it's heart disease and cancer.
TB accounts for something like 30% of deaths in developing countries, even though we have a cure for it.
I would rather we got cheap(er) and more available cures for simple diseases like TB, and got people to actually use them. Screw HIV and AIDS which can be reduced in their risk factor/prevented. TB can be cured for a fact, and isn't spread in the same way as AIDS afaik, so we should try and think about that instead.

The bigger question is, Which disease, cancer or AIDS, gets more funding for a cure?

BS!
AIDS Cure = Lots of young teens FVCKING all the time with everyone and anyone = Inevitable increase in babies born out of wed-lock = Increased poverty levels AND more idiots in government schools = more people with their hand out to the government = more power to Liberals and Democrats = Increased taxation of the so-called rich = Bigger government...

A bit off topic, but I have a question.
Since I feel it is neccessary to get regular checkups for STDs, are there public places (walk-in) that do this stuff with confidentiality? While I'm not too worried (Nothing irregular is down there), it wouldn't hurt to find out if there is something down there that I may not know about.
A government hospital of a sort? Anyone have any idea what these buildings might be called?

Yeah, but you generally don't just get the infection randomly, most often it stems from someone's disgusting and risky behavior. It's like punishment for being a whore.
