I was shocked when I learned that pharmaceutical companies creat disease then creat cure in order to get more revenue.

Example is birth flu that was created just to sell flu drugs.

I believe the companies that make aids treatment drugs have made enough profit so now they want to release the cure

CrushX: Do you think they would? I am very cynical and think that a lot of cures can be found but what they are really interested in is creating medicines to 'manage' diseases, so we can pour more money into the industry. Anybody else that cynical?

Haba nah... Y re dis pple thinking Like this

HIV Viral genome gets intercalated with the host DNA, it stays dia nd replicates with d normal DNA... Tis practically impossible to extract the virus... I mean its being replicated into d individual's gene for Christ sake!!! As long as d individual is alive, nd dna replication is on... Hiv virus replication is on as well

I just wonder wah d scientists hve in mind..

D only cure to HIV, is to KiLL the Individual cus dats d only way d viral genome will stop replicating.

Just like interaction between a bacterium and bacteriophage but still the Reverse Transcriptase can be inhibited. Only that some of the host genes will suffer along.

reverse transcription is only inhibited by addin nucleoside analogs to d transcript so dat d chain is terminated... This however, does not get rid of d virus, it only reduces d viral load..

This is becus sum of d virus undergo mutation nd become resistant to treatment... And also, d hiv virus presents a different viral determinants on its surface @ evry given time so even d drugs find it hard to locate dem...

If u ask me, d viral genome is smart!!!

You didn't read the article well. The reason there is no cure for Hiv is simply because HIV creates Reservoirs, which means it gets into the cells and remains hidden or undetected by the immune system and then gets reactivated at will. That's why the antiretroviral drugs cannot cure it cos they can't penetrate the dna, besides that it mutates very quickly thats also why they can't make vaccines for it. This cure they said releases the hiv from the reservoirs they form in the body's cells, meaning all inactive hiv come to the surface and are all exposed making them detectable by the immune system and by the retroviral drugs. If they are successful and can get them(hiv) out from the hide outs they form in the body then a cure is within reach.

Re: Scientists On Brink Of HIV Cure by plendil: 9:02pm On Apr 29, 2013
I posted this on a similar topic sometime ago. I believe it applicable here.

FOlks should realize is that there many agents in the market capable of bringing the virus down to undetectable levels (<40cell/ML), leading to the disappearance of opportunistic infections and concomitant increase in CD4. This will lead to dramatic improvement in the health of the individual, as I've personally witnessed on numerous occasions.

The problem is that the virus has been found to 'hide' in what known as latent cells VERY EARLY IN INFECTION, and since our conventional ARVs only attack viruses that are actively replicating, these viruses are spared and can remain so for many years, even decades. Once however therapy is discontinued, and the latent cells are triggered through a process not completely understood, they begin replicating again.

Therefore a cure should:

1.) Totally eradicate the virus from every reservoir in the body (known as sterilizing cure - not very promising).

2.) Prevent the latent cells from ever becoming active (functional cure - some progress in this regard)

3.) Force the latent cells to become active so they can be cleared by the conventional ARVs.

4.) Render CD4 cells immune from infection (Gene therapy)

Note that a person became sero negative does not imply he has been cured. It only means the body is no longer producing antibodies to the virus, the presence of which rapid tests rely on.

It appears this 'cure' will follow point 3.

The body's immune system alone will probably be enough in dealing with it once they can successfully force all hiv from their hide outs

Despite all the attempt to appear smart, you still dont PULL IT OFF. As a scientist, you should know that impossibility is not in the realm of science, just a matter of time. Besides do you think that the same people that created HIV would not have a cure for it just like they experimented with bird flu, SARS, swine flu et al? I GUESS THEY HAVE A NEW HIV CALLED CANCER.

Believe it or not, Hiv aids already has a cure from day one, the truth is that all dis condom manufacturing companies are the ones kicking against the cure. Simply because they want to reach their goals in the amount the want to make through the selling of these condoms.
