    Ehh... I suspect "science" could have cured AIDS years ago if big pharm really wanted too. And I mean something applicable to everyone, not a bizarre treatment that cures a few people.

    Who knows though, maybe this will open a door...

    interesting.

    however, until this makes it to the big news sources, i dont expect much to come of it. i hold the same skepticism as jester... if pharm companies are raking in money off of an incurable disease, i suspect that they will try to keep it that way.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    That is why i added the "apparently" to the title. Bone marrow transplants are usually a "last resort" type of thing, not exactly cheap or entirely safe. This cure doesn't mean we can start raw dogging crack whores all of the sudden, but it does bring hope for the future.

    I was sure there were people immune to hiv & that the cure involved somehow using whatever it is that makes them immune to cure others. It's a very logical cure, but finding those stem cell donors & having to do transplants that risk a person's life still make it a cure that is years away from being a useful option in aids treatment.

    anyway, like jester and athena, i am skeptical about this. this is the second one of these that i've read recently. the first one, which was also not from a big name news source, was an article about how they cured cancer.

    here it is:

    Here's a link to a pretty good article on the whole thing. This link is a summary, but you can read the whole PDF if you want. I think it's a pretty significant breakthrough, but we're still a long ways off from a real and accessable "cure" for the billions of people currently suffering with AIDS. The transplant may work for some, but is extremely risky - not to mention expensive. Even so, if they're able to "cure" several people a year using this method, that's a step up from not curing anyone over the past 3 decades. Hopefully they'll be able to use this infomation to work towards a method that is less risky and more accessable to all kinds of patients.

    I'm also skeptical of this, but if this cures other people of AIDS, this will be an extremely amazing breakthrough.

    Immunity genes are AWESOME!! I've been convinced for years that I have one or something, because I appear the be immune to influenza- I'm 28 and have never had the flu, even after repeated exposure to "dangerous" ones such as H1N1.

    I am SO glad this is getting done... W00T 4 SCIENCE!

    Me too!! I have always thought I have been immune as well. I am also almost 28 and have never had the flu after many many exposures. Going to knock on wood just incase lol, don't wanna say this and jinx myself but I certainly believe some people are just immune to certain things. You would think after being around it so much we would have definitely caught it by now.

    Sorry for the kinda thread jack and this is an awesome post, thanks OP Just glad to see someone else agrees to immunity and has experienced the same thing.

    I have no doubt that this is a "cure"... But clearly it's not viable for the common man. My other point is I think AIDS could have been cured by Big Pharm, but when we got somewhat of a grip on it, it became less economically beneficial to try and solve.

    The article said that this man's apparent cure can't necessarily be generalized to all HIV+ people, but this is encouraging.

    I love conspiracy people...."Big Pharm" is not squashing an HIV cure, folks. There are simply too many entities researching this disease to think that "Big Pharm" could do something like that anyway, even if it was something that was trying to be done (which it's not).

    I don't think they are squashing it, but I don't think they're really giving it maximum attention. The leaps that have been made in the last few years concur with that.

    "Big Pharm" is plenty busy making up new diseases and working out "treatments" or "cures" for them. And the as a result, the already most profitable companies on earth are raking in record profits. I think they can let a little breakthrough on cancer and AIDS slip through now - boosts moral in the sickly public, restores faith. All good for increased sales, lol.
