The claim "Cured" is still in debate, but this seems to be pointing to a new direction for HIV treatment.

Gee, queers not sweating medical consequences, what could go wrong ... doesn’t bode well for civilization.

Somehow I don’t think the development of a successful treatment for a specific virus is going to undo civilization.

Hell, I work on a maintenance crew (in a VERY affluent MA town) and we always find nasty stuff -- hypodermics, used condoms, porn, the other day I even found a crack pipe by the side of the road. A cop was parked about 50 ft. on a traffic detail away so I told him and let him deal with it.

I'm always afraid I'm gonna put my hand in something nasty. Wouldn't mind a cure for HIV if I stepped on a needle.

Oh just for irony, let the cure involve being delievered via a Chick-fil-a sandwich.

I wouldn’t worry about contracting HIV from a discarded needle. My aunt, a MD, says the virus doesn’t live long after exposure to air....dunno for sure if she is absolutely correct about that. I’m sure you can google that.

Magic Johnson? Didn’t he have it about 20 yrs ago? He sure doesn’t look like he has it any longer?

This is ridiculous.

Thousands of AIDS sufferers are fully cured every year, but since it exposes the lie of “HIV,” it cannot be admitted.

HIV ‘treatment’ should be classified as first degree murder.

.
Nobody “has it.” - AIDS is not a viral disease, although it leads to death by numerous viral and bacterial diseases. AIDS is the result of an immune system destroyed by drugs; mostly legal drugs.

If I remember right, it is about 24 hours. As someone else pointed out, Hepatitis is a much bigger concern. I think Hep B kills more health care workers, and it lives outside of the body a week.

LOL! - That’s about as good of an escape clause as I’ve heard.

“HIV” is a bit of genetic debris that can be found in the blood of anyone that has had a polio vaccine. It comes from the monkey virus that was used in the formulation of the vaccine. It is also common among the people that live in the monkey’s natural home. It doesn’t do anything but make Big Pharma richer. (and anyone that takes their AIDS drugs deader)

Didn’t this happen to Magic Johnson already?

The cure involves destroying the bone marrow, and replacing
the marrow with stem cells that have a certain mutation which
code for white cells with a receptor site that doesn’t
allow HIV to hook up onto it. Since the HIV can’t hook up
to the white cells it, is eventually destroyed by the
now resistant to AIDs immune system. Coupla problems,

1) Destroying bone marrow by chemo/radiation can itself
induce cancer

2) HIVs also hook up into other type of cells

3) The genome of the virus can integrate itself into
the genome of the host. Thereby hanging around, though
not exercising its reproduction, but waiting for the
correct time to unintegrate.

4) If the patient has HIV virus present, the patient may
be able to spread the virus to others who don’t have
that resistant genetic mutation present, and who can
develop aids.

5) If immunosuppressants are needed to protect the
stem cell graft from rejection that might be a problem
also.

Hadn't heard that the polio vaccine was a source, but your sanity is welcome. Cary Mullis, Nobel Prize for inventing the polymerase chain reaction technology, is only one of dozens of scientists who clarified the absence of the retrovirus called HIV as causative. One of the world's greatest retrovirus experts, Dr. Peter Duesberg, learned the hard way that the billions of dollars directed at big pharma, and the complicity of the press, in spite of the large number of deaths caused by anti-viral drugs, AZT and others, trumped the truth. There is no proven causation association between HIV and AIDS.

AIDS is caused by crony capitalism. Magic Johnson had a very senior researcher, one who has made millions selling the tests for the HIV virus, steer him away from AZT and the popular cocktails. Few doctors do research. Johnson is fine but Arthur Ashe and Kimberly Bergalis are dead, most likely from the gene termination anti-virus drugs used liberally on them, in spite of the fact that each was in fragile health.

Drug use causes most cases of AIDS. Immune suppression drugs used on organ transplant patients, overuse of antibiotics by self-medicating gay men are also major contributors.

The horrible forced administration of antiviral drugs on pregnant drug addicts generates deformed babies, further harmed by the continued treatment of those babies who survive. The AIDS business is a criminal enterprise. Few doctors have been willing to confront the many doubts. For doctors there is safety in numbers. History will eventually reveal the truth and the weakness of many who know, but don't act. The misdiagnosis and mistreatment of AIDS as HIV related has approached the deaths caused by naive environmentalists who followd Rachel Carson whose scince was political, and the US Interior Secretary who knew the truth but wilted under political presssure to ban DDT, resulting in as many as 40 million deaths, mostly to African children, from Malaria.
