Possible "cure" for AIDS?

Ripped from /.

See here. Looks promising to me, though it's not really a cure. An ounce of prevention (condoms, clean needles, etc) is still worth a pound of cure.

Talk amongst yourselves.

there's already a cure for AIDS, but it's only for the rich

Interesting how it can be spread through sex... Would that count as a STC? (Sexually Transmitted Cure)

I suppose it could be. Anybody else have any thoughts to add?

You mean the treatment that Magic Johnson has?

Keep your dick out of the wrong place, no problems.

All funding of AIDS research should be stopped.

There are people have AIDS for reasons beyond their control.

Maybe we should start small...like getting rid of JRun errors, and then work our way up to curing epidemics.

Sounds rather interesting, but guess we will just have to wait and see. As was mentioned in the article, though, it could be somewhat of a concern to see what type of mutation the 'cure' and HIV may incur.

Not most though.

That funding should be used to research ways to kill you.

Reason that there will never be a cure for aids: Drug companies make too much money off of the drug cocktails that treat it

Conspiracy theorist!

Well, vaccines are really still viruses.

Gotta love the Internet. Without it most of us probably would never encounter fscktards such as yourself!

This treatment is a long way off, if ever. Its only been tested in computer models and tissue culture. They're still trying proof of concept. Clinical trails for efficacy and even later safety are not even started yet, but this where most drugs/treatments meet their maker. Given the novelty of this approach, I would guess these trials would be particularly rigourous. I wouldn't expect to see this in man for at least 5 years, and actually in the market for some time after that.

My bet would be this won't make it through clinical trails, probably to fail somewhere in phase 2 (efficacy.) Very interesting approach however.

For some reason I thought this was going to have something to do with nukes and africa. That seems to be everyone's solution to everything now. Just nuke it.

Bingo. Money's in the treatment. Not the cure.

Your mistake was to attribute seriousness to what I posted. I assure you, it was entirely devoid of it.

Good Stuff!
