his efforts will disappear just like the American doctor that "cured" AIDs...the drug companies will NEVER, NEVER EVER let a cure come out, not for a cash cow like HIV, been doing the same with cancer, a cure has been on the shelf for years but it makes too much money to "cure" it......sorry to be so negatively realistic guys..

Am I the only one here?

No luv you are not the only one .

 

[DigitalFudge]

I get more and more excited everytime I hear about it.



Would we all rather there be static, no sign of people researching, working towards a cure?


Give scientists a break, give journalists a break. I am thrilled that we are advancing at such a fast pace and hope that there will not be one but multiple life changing treatments for those with HIV/Aids.

Yes indeed, the dawn of every new day brings new & enlightened hope to a very complicated concern.

I see someone has filled Mr. Bessler's conspiracy theory shoes.

I have always paid a lot of attention to HIV and AIDS topic since teens. It's a lot complex than it seems so sometimes unexpected things happens.

"Like" seems like an odd choice of words.

I understand why they do them. It's the 21st century. Newspapers get revenue per click. "AIDS vaccine within months" brings fifty times the traffic that "Progress made on HIV fight" would. As long as human being behave in a certain way, I can't blame advertisers and websites and everything for taking advantage of the fact.

Journalists, no. I'm over them, tbqh.

They have to get people to read their articles though.

I just read about a cure being in sight within months and my reaction is that I tear up...I have no control over it...and believe me I have tried my hardest to control it.

For me..it is like having been in a huge deadly earthquake and having dead people all around me...and finally help has arrived for the wounded.

I definitely like the headlines if they are true.

if HIV/AIDS is cured then you better be worried because something else will come out and start killing people off.

 

[bankside]

I think we should be spending a lot more on preventing transmission.

 

[PreTTy PeTe]

If there is a ever is cure I just want to be there.

For those who never returned - and never left our hearts

Journalism is about catchy headlines and sensationalism. Most journalists that cover heavy scientific topics have no background in science so they themselves just parrot what some company claims or twist certain data to misrepresent the reality for a hot news topic. The two gay virologists that I have met told me the way the HIV virus functions, there will not be a cure or a true vaccine anytime in their career lifetime, unless there is some game changing nano-tech pharmacology which is decades and decades away from reality. Their worry is not "cures" but 2nd wave of drug resistant HIV epidemic because in their labs, they are seeing the virus developing resistance and mutations to the common cocktail drugs that we have now.
