First man ‘functionally cured’ of HIV

That's a huge step in the right direction.

 

its a step i suppose. tho i dont think taking bone marrow from the 1% of people that are immune is a very realilstic option. good step forward none the less

 

Very interesting to see that it is in fact possible, however like shawn mentioned it is very unrealistic. It is good to know there are still some people that can actually be cured opposed to treated. I hope that this will lead to more innovations.

 

It's pathetic it's taken so long. I'm not even going to click the link and just assume the USA did it?

If we didn't waste so much $ on a pointless war, and other things. We would of did this years ago, j/s.

 

Well if it's so pathetic why don't you go cure aids any way you want? Also who is "we" that would have cured it. The US?

 

People need to die to balance the planet.

 

There is a saying that goes something like this, "the worst thing a doctor can do it kill someone, the second worse thing is to cure them".

I hope i am apart of that 1% of people who are immune lol.

 

Yeah if your ancestors had the delta 32 mutation.

 

My dad is 100% turkish and this says :

My mother is 100% Aussie with Irish heritage so, im still going to hope LOL:laugh:

Edit : added reference link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCR5

 

Incredible, but what can be done for one person can not be done for everyone else.

 

Another good way to stop AIDS is to stop having sex with random ass people with no rubber and just let the disease die out. If people of the world can't accomplish this small change in habit then forget the cure, were doomed.

 

I dont think junkies sharing needs for their heroin fix give a rats ass about paying money for comdoms an watching who they have sex with lol.

 

Well people are always horny so yeah lol.

 

Wow, Thats pretty legit. I hope im part of the 1% lol.

 

so.. i should rule that out of my hopes... since im mexican >___>

and guess this old man is going back to pwning cheap hookers without a worry huh? its funny b/c people dont really concider the risk until its too late... and also pathetic of how they go crying to doctors on "curing" them... death is a natural part of life... if you choose to speed that process up then... GTFO the doc's rod...

PS thts a cute doggie <3
