In relation to vaccines I have faith in the Vacc 4x and Vacc 5 it maybe wont be a "cure" but a replacement for HAART that will make HIV more manageable like herpes. In relation to cure I have hope in these cord blood tests been done if they work HIV IS CURABLE and it wont take 10 yrs we will now if it works by christmas I pray

It's going to HAPPEN everyone! May not be for another few years, but by faith, persistent and advocacy to find the cure. Too much is emerging in the field to ignore the real possibility of a 'functional cure' being discovered. I do however, believe it will be treated much like cancer. It's important to keep our bodies in the best shape possible (take your meds) to receive such treatment! AND to all the nay sayers who believe there is some conspiracy I cant wait to see you all eat your words!

Apologies for my thinking I was censored-I realize now there are 2 articles on vaccines--sorry to your moderator-who has been very forward in letting most posts go through-whether we are jaded or misguided and even paranoid it is great to have a forum where we can share from our collective years of experience. Vaccines IMHO have languished because they don't offer big profit motives that pharma's do, and it sure seems like the next drug in pipeline conveniently appears when patent is up-shame!

There are obviously many dedicated researchers out there trying to find a "cure"-however, vaccine research-as told to me in 94-offers the best hope for a "cure" and since then it has fallen on its sword time and time again. It is hard not to be cynical when one sees the retail price Medicare would pay if one went outside private health insurance-for me 60,000 a year..the same meds would cost an African (after waiting 10 awful years) about 1000 dollars-virtue is its own reward-blood money is not.

David Margolis the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Mar 9, 2012 â??What people want to know is when can someone go to a doctor and be handed a pill and be cured,â? Margolis said by phone. â??Thatâ??s decades away. Think of it more in terms of curing cancer. I think in 10 years someone with HIV infection could go to a specialist and get a complicated treatment and have some likelihood of a prolonged remission of their HIV.â?
