And now some good news: a potential cure for AIDS

[yukichigai]

Researchers say they have discovered, identified and recorded an antibody that bypasses the "cloaking" defenses of HIV.

Having a very close friend with AIDS I am excited to say the least.

I find it interesting that we spend sooo much money on a disease that is ALMOST 100% preventable.

We've had threads about this before, so it's best not to go there. No matter how you feel about people with AIDS, finding a cure is still a good thing, so let's not crap on it.

Lots of diseases are almost 100% preventable.

Now give all the poorer countries the money to prevent them.

It's only preventable here really. In third world countries where women have no right to say no to sex it's damn near impossible to stop it from spreading, not to mention the various rituals where fluid sharing is possible.

I do not think I have ever seen anyone root for deadly diseases before.

It is our job as human beings to help each other. HIV is one of most deadly virus' this world has ever seen. Being able to cure it should have nothing to do with money. This virus needs to be erradicated.

We don't live in a bubble. What kills in the rest of the world will ultimately kill us here.

How about the African myth that to be cured of HIV, one needs to do a virgin?

I'd use different words, but your sentiment I can agree with. 🙂

Well it's ok to find a cure for it but I mean c'mon it just means that people can go out and sleep with whomever they want and be irresponsible and still have a cure for their downfall!!!!!

 

[idNut]

I don't want there to be a cure. AIDS is helping our population decrease as are other viruses. Ever hear about how if you put a thousand animals of one species on an island with no threat how it will do poorly but if you put a pack of wolves or a threat on with the other animals, how the animals will thrive? If AIDS doesn't kill us, we'll kill each other from overpopulation or just hate.

I hope there's never a cure. AIDS should be a lesson to the stupid.
