Except all of the treatments are either incredibly impractical, incredibly expensive, or incredibly inhumane
still possibly good, arguably better, but hey

And this one sticks to the pattern.
Yes well you and South Africa can go sit in a corner and mumble together with your foil hats.

they're not the same
what the fuck are you even trying to say

mine had a very serious case of strep but he's better now.
one leads to the other therefore solving the problem of HIV would be in effect curing AIDS
in fact you could say HIV and AIDS are the same thing as AIDS is just the most advance stage of HIV
so he's techinically correct in his thread title
A terminal case of lemonades.
Uh no. That sort of 'logic' does not apply to people who already have AIDS. It's curing HIV.

yes, HIV is not technically the same as AIDS
AIDS is the result of HIV
what the fuck is your point?

It would depend what kind they are.
Yeah, that's a shame. I wonder if that is more of a CYA comment or if they really expect a lot of effect from it.
you aids infected fat fuck

I heard they found a way to grow them artificially or something, no?

if they know the virus could be lurking undetected, then how can they legitimately claim they know it's gone? that's not covering your ass, that's good science
And if you're really fucked, then we'll use mutant (rare genetic trait) stem cells to cure you.
Or, if you're religious, just think of it stealing the souls of dead babies to cure rich people and force the government not to allow any agency (universities?) receiving public funds to come within 1000ft of stem cell research because abortions are definately the only viable source of stem cells. :x
Well yes, presumably they're fucked, and I think it's safe to say most of them are resigned to the fact that Salk is not going to ride in on a pencillin horse to save the day. What we are saying is if there is a chance they can "cure" the earlier stages of the disease, it will make it easier to solve the problem of the latter stages. It's good news for those that have HIV, those who might contract HIV, and in helping to stomp out HIV/AIDS altogether.
Yeah, aparently I'm behind the times:

GOBAMA!
get a lock, fagmo
Yes but in the article they give the impression that they don't really know why it hasn't rebounded, as he was also infected with a type of HIV that is not stopped by this procedure
my point was only that it's hardly a cure, and in theory HIV could still reemerge even after this sort of treatment, and the doctors themselves aren't sure why it hasn't in this patient
also I'm not sure what it means that you can't see it but it can still do some damage

Getting tested for HIV is so passee, cool kids just get tested for genetic HIV immunity.
