chiover: Why are they still deciving people in the name of possible cure? Virus/viruses don't have any cure. They come,run their phases and disappear. If you're talking about a treatment that would expedite the run of phases without harming the person in question, then I will listen to you,but,this "cure cured" propoganda is seriously wacked !

Well, it depends on what we mean by 'cure'. If it means a total eradication of the virus from every part of the body, including those that are dormant in latent reservoirs, then I agree that this type, known as 'sterile cure' is unlikely for HIV. I should add it has been achieved in some viral infections.

However, another form of cure exist in which the virus still remains dormant in latent reservoirs in the body, but are unable to reactivate into the actively replicating forms thus enabling a prolonged state of remission to be achieved. This, known as 'functional cure', which was alluded to in the article is being advocated for HIV and I might add that there have been promising results so far.

This is VERY good news. No child deserves to be born with this disease and have to spend their entire life struggling with and being stigmatized by it.
Re: Scientists: Baby Born With HIV cured by plendil: 11:47am On Mar 04, 2013
I might also add that with current treatment (ART) readily available in most health centers, even in very remote areas, no woman, I repeat, no woman has any reason to give birth to a HIV+ baby in this day and age. Those who do have only themselves to blame.

In the case of the lady in the article, she presented very late (during labour), which is unfortunate.

in other words we are saying the same thing, but whta I want you to understand now is this,the sterile cure you mentioned above is not possible in any viral infection,take chicken pox and misseles as case study here, have you not noticed of recent that both diseases are now reoccuring on individuals that have suffered from them before and believed to have gotten immuned to them?? I think the number of years an individual will live on earth determines this assumed cure/cured factor of a thing.

tejpot: Who invented HIV virus? Who discovered the retro virus? It should answer who will cure it.
HIV came from chimps. was transmitted to humans via the bushmeat trade in central Africa
Re: Scientists: Baby Born With HIV cured by Nobody: 12:40pm On Mar 04, 2013
HIV is a virus, cant be cured..lol, can only destroyed. What can be cured is AIDS, the syndrome. And again, as a scientist AIDS is not only caused by HIV, malnutrition and total loss of immunity from even diabetes can result in AIDS. The entire world has been fooled by these American medics.

Simeoneyituoyo: I knew it! One day scientists will find a cure to HIV

They always had a cure.
Im happy for the baby but i know better.

HIV/AIDS is man made. And they are only making efforts to "cure" ppl now they they have realized three things:

1. Brown ppl and gays werent dying quick enough
2. They will make more profit giving out medicine to help ppl "live with the disease"
3. And most damning, a lot of "their own kind" are dying from it.

To whom it may concern: Call me a conspiracy theorist, and I'll call you a fool. smiley

Does it answer who will cure it. Or perhaps, the cure might finally be from the blood of chimps. Scientist consider my statement.

cant believe people still fall for this money making scheme by the Pharma-cartel. which useless cure?
anyway, they need to sell it via media to all you gullible people, then the pharma crooks will invade Africa with the bogus cure and estimated millions of children in Africa (watch this page very soon it will be a prevention jab) - sell it via our corrupt governments, and you know what that means for the phama-mafia: BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFIT

dont know when you people will learn

If I were to be this doctor, I'd change my name. I mean, what are the chances of being named "Gay" and then become an HIV doctor?
