The question of what is a cure and when someone is cured is an issue, if we get that far. Cancer is referred to as cured if it stays gone for 5 years. HIV unlike cancer is transferable between people, would a government declare a once hiv+ person negitive. As well as "curing" a person one would have to make the virus non-transferable w/o meds and for that matter condoms

Clinical trials for HDA inhibitors seem to show the most promise. It seems that gene therapy will be the functional cure in our lifetime, but will not be effective to eradicate the virus globally, since it cannot be administered globally. This will slow down the progress, and will inhibit it from becoming a first line of defense. I
Why are there no advertisements for the need of ppl participation on such programs (i've some for preventative drugs)
I believe the cure is there but because money corruptes even purest souls then the society will endure a little bit until they feel its time to realise. God have mercy over your people.
We have a framework. We have an understanding. We just need volunteers. The framework is testing new treatments against the existing golden standard. The understanding is that HIV destroys the very thing that is necessary to destory it, so we must treat as early as possible. Though, the "volunteers" must be the greedy pharmaceutical companies, volunteering to freely test their (donated) treatments. Of course, we must look for ways to help the immune system clear HIV. How did GcMAF do it?

I was diagnosed in 2005 for HIV and since had two children, to date my CD 4 count is still at 685. I think sexual lifestyles should change and inisist on condoms with your partners. My children are now 7 and 3 and am hopeful that a cure will be found before I can start treatment. Keep positive people around you and laugh as much as possible, God Bless
