    Cure For aids?

    Here's a link to the article, its old, and there are plenty of variables involved but this is still a potentially history changing development.

    aids cured

    Why this dude is being so selfish is beyond me.
    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    Cure For aids?

    What a prick. I bet it was just a fluke and he has gotten the codition again. That's probably why he won't get tested again, 'cause he knows he still has HIV and he wants to get famous or whatever. I just want to make clear that HIV and AIDS are not the same thing, if you have HIV you can get AIDS that's how it works. Also did you know that some people are immune to HIV. For example prostitutes can build up immunity towards the decease if they have sex with alot of different persons, but the immunity can go away if tehy taka a break for a while. Wierd shit.

    Cure For aids?

    From my understanding, it's not possible to erase a virus from your body... Once you get a virus, you'll always have a virus... Only thing you can do about it is control it and creat immunities (that's why you get vaccinated periodically)...

    With that said, I'm pretty sure that there have been numerous of cases where the HIV virus has been controlled, to the point where it is no longer a threat to the life of the individual.

    As el_boss said, he only managed to control the HIV virus, he wasn't cured of AIDS which an entirely different thing...

    So I think that the point of interest here is not that he controlled the HIV virus, but the how he did it...

    Cure For aids?

    ....I don't trust this...

    A cure for one man doesn't mean shit for the rest of the population afflicted with it....

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    from what i remember, AIDS is the last and worse stage of HIV. an these new possible cures are like mage said, some guy is always trying to get 20 billion dollars and ten years of fame for introducing it.

    bud, im pretty sure not all virus you receive stay in your body or i'd have about 300 stomach viruses inside me right now, there is no antibiotic for the virus but your immune system still can get rid of the virus

    You can't cure aids. HIV is nature's weapon against mankind and there's nothing we can do about it.

    No, this article is implying that theres something inside this man that may be different, and significant in finding the cure for aids. This is of course contingent upon the results not being a fluke. If by chance they're right, and this man has rid of himself of the hiv virus, one of two things happened. Either he "won the lottery" and somehow the medication was able to rid itself of every last virus particle in his body before a mutant strain evolved that the medication couldn't handle, or the other possibility that there's something abnormal about his immune system that defeated the virus. If the latter is the case, furthur investigation could yield the factors that are different in this man, and perhaps an artificial version of said factors can be synthesized and delivered to HIV infected patients at large.

    Problem is this guy hears "omg, your test results came out negative" and he runs around the happiest man on earth withouth even considering the small possibility that this is false negative. Even worse, he's being a schmuck by not helping out as he should by cooperating with the furthur testing. He's being irresponsible not only to society at large, but to himself.

    i never said u could cure aids, i know you cant. HIV and AIDS are special because they attack the immune system itself, while with other viruses the immune system can attack them because the virus's target isnt the immune system.

    No, it's actually because there are so many different variations of HIV that it's pretty much impossible to beat them all. At first it was curable, but we didn't have the technology to do it. Now it has been around for decades and mutated into thousands of types, each with different resistances. The longer we take, the harder it'll be to find a solution. That's why you see governments treating new viruses so seriously, especially the recent Avian Flu - they don't want a repeat of SARS...or HIV.

    Attacking the immune system isn't the problem. There are lots of other viruses that don't attack the immune system and are much more deadly. The immune system really isn't all that powerful against superviruses.
