BREAKTHROUGH: First HIV-Positive Man Cured

[Upgrade Dave]

Don't want to sound negative but there is too much money to be made for them to find a cure.

But not a vaccine.

Even though Brown’s procedure proved to be successful, Quinn warns this was a rare case and a bone marrow transplant is not a cure-all for other HIV patients.

“It is a near fatal procedure that he had to have done because of the leukemia, but this procedure is very expensive and you have to be transplanted with a donor who is shown to be already resistant to HIV,” Quinn said. “You’re asking for a tall order to replicate this in the future.”

Interesting.

Son. Crack babies are well into their 20s now. Many born with the bug and you might never know. One of my guys is a high school principal and they had a support group of over 10 kids who had been born with HIV in just that one school. Still gotta stay strapped up ppl.

Only thing anyone would have to worry about is if there is truth to big companies buying up cures to keep their drugs on the market. As well as, the possible "coming up missing" aspect of the the people who allegedly cured it. Them mufuckas might come up missing at the hands of businesses standing to lose money if the cure works.

If this is true then trojan condoms stock bout to plummet​

Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient'


On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.

Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."

Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.

Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent.

While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week.

Naw bruh, HIV is real and its fucking up the African American community. True no one dies of AIDS, just like you don't die from a car crash (you might die from automobile induced trauma). But people are dying from AIDS-related diseases and African Americans are getting this disease at a much higher rate. We can talk about government conspiracies all day, and I am willing to listen. But the true scam, is to have negroes believing that A) HIV or AIDS doesnt exist B) You can't get it from fucking a woman C) Treatment causes death.

We are already scared to go to the doctor and rarely get checked out for basic shit, let alone STDs.
