this means immune system impossible to change with one infusion. but if scientists made the procedure cheep and automatic it could be used monthly/yearly instead of toxic HAART

similar trial showed infused stem cells don't live long enough in human body. google "hiv OZ1". they dissapear after one year. the main producer of blood cells is still morrow bone with larger quantity of stem cells than could be infused. that is why the Berlin patient experience is not repeatable with infusion of stem cells.

The HIV cure industry is a scam that goes something like this. Set up a pharama company to develop "HIV cure", government gives massive grant, trial commences and then company disappears. The only reason they set up these trials is to get the grant money. If you want to donate your body to trials then only enter NON government funded trials, i.e. non hiv.

I am diagnosed for more than a year now. A year ago, I took care of my partner who is only 21 years old and I am only 22 years old. I saved his life by being his primary health care, given the fact that I am a nurse by profession. He also saved my life because without him manifesting AIDS infections I would not decide to get my self tested. I am now switching a profession from Health Care professional to a High School educator. Gene Therapy is our topic this week.This gives us all a HOPE to LIFE

Best work being done with private funds IMHO-now if the Delaney projects at NIH can get people to think this way maybe Martin's dream will be achieved of an actual cure-dark forces seem to be working against us but white hats are always out there. There is a cure for Hep C out there but the companies will not work together and it is delaying treatment for patients in the thousands who may die for profits-sign petition at change.org or HepC-cured.org.

I was diagnosed in February this year, and would like to know how one takes part in these clinical trials. It's just funny that the information about clinical trials is not easily accessible. I really wouldn't mind dying from undergoing a trial just as long as I know that it will help other people. I wish that this information was more easily accessible. Must thank all those doctors and researchers who've made it their lives mission to try and find a cure.

This sounds very good and promising. My main question is what is the projected cost for this kind of treatment? I'm clueless as to the costs for stem cell transplants. I would assume that this would be extremely expensive. Another question, is what if you have the money and would like to undergo the treatment who or how do you get in touch with the right kind of people. I just believe that people should have the option to try it out even though it's not FDA approved.
