I am curious, arent the drug companies lining there pockets with all the drugs Hiv carriers have to buy and actually taking their time to find a cure, why have they not made Hiv meds into injectable form yet? The drugs are so strong its causing patients stomach linings to burn and making them more vulnerable to illness, is injectable Arv's not the way or is it going to take revenue out of the tablet manufacturers pockets ? Do these companies realise there are innocent people that got the virus through being violated by vagrants who do not care about others or themselfs? If they could find a cure for a flue strand that keeps evolving why are they not doing it for HIV that stays the same??? So many questions ? Only one answer money is more importsnt than people and the world is over populated as is, Im sure that is what the fat cat in there castles are saying to each other???? Untill they get HIV ... Oh sorry they can actually pay for a cure !!! Yes im frustrated and angry, wouldnt you be?

I have been married to my wife for 14 years and she has been on ARV's since our marriage. In the beginning before we discovered that she was HIV we had sex for nearly a year. I have only once gone for a test and I was negative. My wife is still on ARV treatment but is living a normal healthy lifestyle. However I had sex again wife my a few years ago and I have not seen any changes in my weight or my wellbeing. She suggested to me to go for a test again but I did not go. It might sound strange but I do believe that I am immune to the disease. Can you please give me some insight to this belief that I have and is it true that some people is immune to HIV.

I pray everyday if not minute of my life that the scientist(God bless them) find a cure I believe its a matter of years (4) or less until they find a cure. Im in south Africa and im so grateful to the people that are involved in making treatment possible and in search of a cure. everything is possible we need to have faith in God

so we found out that bee venom kills the HIV in all strains. when are we going to work that method into the cure? producing a wake to wake up the HIV cells with Zolinza medication that awakens cells and injection a serum of bee venom guided with other medication to seek out and destroy the active cells?

For those who think 1000+ scientists (that work with HIV) are keeping their overly opinionated mouths shut about an HIV cure, should just stop commenting on HIV related articles. Its so easy to point fingers with your conspiracy leaders that sell CURES THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT books and how-to's that make them rich (while they're laughing at you for following them). Or protesting along side them as they make YouTube videos go viral depicting false cures using bark and vinegar that only make you have diarrhea. Denial is a stage in the healing process that we all have to deal with. So DEAL WITH IT. The government isn't mutating viruses so we have to get flu shots every year, there is no "hidden" cures, and all those scientists and inventors that you read about that "died of unknown causes" (aka, government killed them) are A (still alive) B (were fired or jailed because they were idiots) or C (they might have really died because we all die from something). I repeat, anyone can create videos, articles, research papers, patents, etc. That doesn't EVER make them true, working, important, or even reliable. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ, LISTEN TO, OR SEE ON THE INTERNET. Gilead did a crap job about "hiding/covering up" their intentions on NOT joining with Bristol in the HEP C cure... Its all over the news (but lets not report this, conspiracy theorists).

I agree blueballs :) and even if the first injections are once a month I believe this could decrease in time to once every 6 months or once a year I believe we are very close to this IF there is will amoung medical bodies and the general AIDS NGOs

In my opinion a cure is having monthly injections and not having inflammation and having to suffer the natural effects of HIV infection. So basically you are HIV+ but a) non infectious and b) will not be more susceptible to non-HIV related illness. Now that's a real cure! Anything else from the patients point of view is just media hype. All this talk of flushing out the HIV cells and chemotherapy, but at what cost, a depleted immune system? Death? Just give people a sensible fuctional cure so that they can live a normal life.
