Came across this article. Very interesting. Mayhap it could lead to beating HIV?

I also heard something about them having a drug that cures AIDS, anyone know?

As far as I know the "treatment" they have works, it just takes a very long time. I know Magic Johnson is "cured".

But I know it isn't "a" drug. It's many, with a specific treatment plan. Just because, as far as I know, AIDS is tailored for each person it infects, which is why they can't simply cure it ... as far as I was taught anyway.

I'm sure, satch, or someone else can give a better more informative explaniation ... (perhaps a correct one :P)


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Here in SA we have the highest HIV rate. 1 in 3 people have HIV. But thats a average. If you looked at decent areas, proberly 1 in 200.



I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

Yup.

Personally I wouldn't want to know. I've never had a HIV test (it doesn't look fun), so I'll happily live in ignorance and spread the love... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

the way you said that makes me wonder what one goes through to test for HIV. I would have thought it was a simple blood test.
