If you have enough money, there must be successful treatments for hiv. Look at Magic Johnson.

Doesn’t seem to make a dent according to the numbers. No matter...You know this is being paid for by us.
To: Red Badger
I see it in the news once a year for 20 years, but no breakthrough yet:)

“Don’t have geh secks and you are good”
That’s true on so many different levels!

Butt sex disease = must be cured
Cancer = too big a business to find a cure
Priorities, priorities.

Even if you believe that it’s a primarily gay disease, there’s a lot of spouses of guys who are in the closet who get it.
Also, drug use and blood transfusions are a vector. Yes, even today.

Ditto. It seems like they are always finding a "cure" for HIV every year.
And with this news, a hoard of homos will be barebacking complete strangers to celebrate.

It may not be the ‘cure,’ but it sure is a slick piece of science at work. Very clever procedure involves removing T-cells from the patient, then ex-vivo they take off the ‘kick me first’ tag put on T cells by retrovirus, and send them back to the front.

Hopefully there will be a cure. Just too many people dying in Africa and asia from this horrible disease.

Actually this is the second study with this result.
The CCR5 Delta-32 mutation has many possibilities. If you read the article one patient was cured of HIV and cancer.
Of course if the process continues to be successful, the people with the natural Delta-32 mutation will be hunted down and sucked dry to cure people of their own folly.

That’s nice, but I have a friend whose child is a hemophiliac. Who now has HIV.
The child is 8. Are you honestly saying that the child has been promiscuous?

"The approach entails temporarily stopping a patient's antiretroviral therapy and removing T cells carrying the CD4 receptor. This surface protein is the doorway by which the virus gains entry into the cell. The collected T cells are exposed to zinc finger nuclease, an enzyme designed to remove the gene for a coreceptor of CD4 called CCR5. The cells are then reinfused into the patient."
Sounds a little risky. Didn't a recent movie tout a famous cure before the side effects were known?

Some conservatives throw ‘pro-life’ out the window once the word sex is mentioned.

I’m trying to think of a reason why that would be worse than the current state of affairs under Obama.
And failing.

“It is a disease of promiscous sex.”
Much of the time. But innocents are also involved.
