To Devilsadvocate. That is why part of me feels the cure functional or otherwise will come from Europe HIV was discovered by French scientists, the Berlin patient was obviously in Europe. This Vacc 4x (which I have faith in) is coming from Norway and now we have tests on cord blood in Amsterdam and Madrid with the hope to cure HIV. I feel Europe will cure this illness. I also feel HAART will be gone within 5 years replaced with bi anual injection like Vacc 4x. I hope anyway.
re - Devilsadvocate, I'm so sick of that argument. Do you realize how ridiculous that is? 34 million people in this world are living with HIV/AIDS, and there are tons of treatments available spread throughout all of the pharmaceutical companies. If one company comes up with a cure, all other treatments will become obsolete and they will have a monopoly on a 34 million person market. They're salivating at the thought. Don't kid yourself.
To play the devil's advocate, a cure could sound the death knell to the multi-billion dollar AIDS industry. the pharmaceutical industry in the US i simply too powerful to let that happen. Compassion is simply not a factor as far as profits go.
Hooray for the research thus this far and a long way to go. Please participate and do you part in findinf a CURE.!!
There are major medical advances in HIV medication, but the fact is a ton of positive people still do not have access to these medications. HIV is a terrible disease but it has made a group without borders, regardless if you're in Japan, USA, South Africa, Germany, Peru, China. There are positive people everywhere, and we all want a cure. Once we get that cure, which i'm sure will be soon, it will be a victory for all mankind, hopefully it unify all man. It will be bigger than the moon landing.
I wish they found the cure, or a better treatment soon enough, I pray to God to bless these people who try to found a way somehow...
notice how they always say a cure will take decade to come its so freaking crazy that i've first heard this at 17 i am not 2 decades earlier, so what is truly going on? and why is it that everytime the release this breaking news they get your hopes up then at the very it the repeat this is just a big step but a cure could take decades, let get it correct for once it may take another century because 3 decade have already passed

I've been taking these nasty pills for at least 18 years. There is no fun in these pills as they have and are contributing to my nerve damage and lipoatrophy. While a cure or functional cure might be great, I'd hope they come up with better solutions for my nerve problems than taking Lyrica forever.
