however, the fact that it is one drug vs 25 leads me to believe that, even if it is an extremely expensive drug, it will still be cheaper than current treatment methods | ||

how do you think prices stay up in the US? an advance like this wouldn't get held up for long if the public got wind of it the pharmaceutical companies have tremendous lobbying power, which is probably a good thing for the general health of the people the only barrier i can see is the FDA really, and the only way they'll hold it up is if it's unsafe, in which case it shouldn't be administered anyway what good is a drug that cures HIV but kills you? in that mindset, the bullet is a good cure for HIV as well | ||

Sorry for offtopic, do you guys get different sizes condoms where you live? Anything that isn't so restricting at least? I guess I'm just really sensitive or something. Or maybe I'm really really thick, who knows. Please help.  | ||

that's it, this thread has reached the threshold for stupid posts 1) condoms are an effective method of preventing HIV 2) using condoms has other benefits besides preventing HIV, such as preventing the myriad of other STD's that are out there which you don't want to be getting, not to mention relatively effective at preventing pregnancy 3) if you don't know how to use condoms, learn, or get a regular partner that is clean so you wont have to worry about it 4) what the fuck guys, seriously. | ||

The conpiracy theories never cease, do they. It's very well funded, probably one of the most well funded branches in medicin. The problem is that it attackes the very immune system which is supposed to deal with illnesses, hence there's no easy way to cure it. Also, viruses mutate, and are very hard to kill and are not classified as "alive". Most cures of this type relies on vaccines, where you get a non-dangerous amount of the disease itself, or a toned down disease that the immune system will recognize as the real disease, and then your immune system will develop antibodies for it. Now if we want a vaccin for aids, we have to give ourself a dose of hiv in the same manner, but since this disease is so dangerous, the risk is still too great you'll end upp getting aids instead of developing antibodies that can handle it. Also, you can only be vaccinated against a disease you don't have, hence why would you want to risk getting aids if you don't have it, and of course it would be useless if you already had aids in the first place. Well, I guess it's a good thing they're about too find a cure, but diseases also have a place in the ecosystem as population regulators. Oh well. Medic fighting! | ||

It would actually be kind of bad to find a cure for all these "born that way" type of diseases from an evolutionary perspective. I mean already we've reached the point where being diabetic is not anything unusual. If they aim to fix all inheritable diseases, then those people's children will get it and so on. In the end, how much medication and treatment would be considered acceptable to receive? It costs money, and you'd also be very restricted as an individual if you relied on lots of medication and checkups just to live. - unless medicin goes so far as to erase those diseases from our genes, like tampering with the feutuses, and that's another hairy topic. I'm not taking any stand personally though for or against these things, just pointing it out for the sake of debate if any be so inclined. | ||

P.S. Does anyone know someone who actually has aids? I don't know a single person out of everyone ive met my entire life who does (or knows about it rather). I think that the people i know are either very unaware, or the government made up Aids. -.- | ||

HIV is a virus while AIDS is the disease that is (usually) caused by this virus. You can be infected by the virus and still not have AIDS, and you can in rare cases have AIDS but not through the HIV. You have AIDS "when the CD4 count goes below 200 (from a normal count of 1,000)" so it isn't an arbitrary number. | ||

That's like saying you don't want your tax money going to road construction because you don't drive. see the flaw in your statement? other people need that money to find a cure you're making it sound wrong to make profit of your business. that's capitalism for you. don't blame it on something that people ALL OVER THE WORLD will actually benefit upon. | ||
