A new pill to treat HIV infection -- combining two previously approved drugs plus two new ones -- has been approved for adults living with the virus that causes AIDS, US regulators said. SOURCE |

Everybody should please note that this is not a cure. Like other HIV drugs, it just keeps the virus at bay and you need to keep taking it for life to prevent you from getting sick. Keep using those condoms. 1 Like |

Someone even claims he has been totally cured of H.I.V .. Timothy Ray Brown, 47, an American from Seattle, Washington, rose to fame as the so-called "Berlin patient" after doctors tried a novel technique to use an HIV-resistant donor for a stem cell transplant to treat Brown's leukemia. Since 2007, he has had two high-risk bone marrow transplants and continues to test negative for HIV, stunning researchers and offering new pathways for research into how gene therapy may lead to a more widely acceptable approach. "I am living proof that there could be a cure for AIDS," Brown told AFP in an interview. "It's very wonderful, being cured of HIV."[b][/b] http://www.gidilinks.com/2012/08/man-who-claim-to-be-cured-of-hiv-aids_29.html |

as if there was a killer disease called HIV...It has been a scam from the beginning.Infact the biggest scam ever known to mankind. The doctors made billions of dollars from the drugs they approved for the treatment (Anti Retroviral Drugs) .Its a simple logic, a pack of high profile doctors conspires to tell the world that HIV exists. These same doctors come out with costly drugs for its treatment. I have never been scared of HIV just scared of other STDs that are really terminal like Herpes. |

nwa-ngeme: My dear friend, Herpes is NOT terminal. Its just another kind of oral/sexually transmitted virus. There are two major types, Oral (mouth) and on the reproductive organs. Do your research before running into conclusions. Herpes has no "cure" per sey and can lie dormiant in the system for years until when activated by sickness etc. And pls and Pls HIV/AIDS isn't a conspiracy, it kills both whites and blacks alike. check this out for more info: http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes.htm 1 Like |

keneri:... "Terminal illness is a medical term popularized in the 20th century to describe a disease that cannot be cured or adequately treated and that is reasonably expected to result in the death of the patient within a period of time" so your telling me the sickness will have to wait for years before activating the herpes right? yea yea, it kills both white and blacks..i never brought anything about being black or white or green...If you believed so much in medicine and a doctor tells you that you have got some few more years to live what would be your response? Bro, its a simple psychology - KILL THE MIND, KILL THE MAN. i would leave you to your opinion though. |

nwa-ngeme: HIV/AIDS exist but people blow it out of proportion. HIV/AIDS is a SECONDARY MALNUTRITION. What kill people is stigmatization and not AIDS. AIDS can only kill when there is insufficient diet to boost your immune system, which is normal in the life of every living organism, whether AIDS or no AIDS just like other immune deficiency diseases. I am not encouraging casual sex nor other mode of transmission, but the fact remains that AIDS is real but different from the way people think about it. |

This new innovation would go a long way in improving patient's compliance to ARVs, a critical issue in the chemotherapy of AIDS. However, this is no much different from the existing combo regimens, HAART et al, currently used. I also implore the patent manufacturer to grant permissions to local manufacturers in developing countries, willing to produce d generic drug, which would be far cheaper $ accessible than d patent drug. Of a truth, drug production is very expensive, and only about 2 out of every 10 marketed drugs, return their R$D investments. On a final note, Pervention, they say is better than Cure ( Management in this case). If you cannot abstain, use a c.ondom. Cheers. |
