This is what the white man wants, continues payment for drugs and not for permanent cure. We keep producing, you keep buying. But for the permanent cure, that's out of the question.

See the picture. However, it is not treatment for stage 1 HIV but treatment for HIV-1, a type of HIV.

Because big firma would actually prefer to continually buy medications to manage it than an outright cure. Thr former is far more lucrative

You didn't include staphylococcus?


And its like these illnesses, after some time, they will transform to another STD.

Like example, coliform may later transform to herpes.
LabStores:
Beware !!!

There are many more STDs stronger and even more deadlier than HIV.

Starting with the most common - Hepatitis

- Hepatitis B (HBV)
Sexually transmitted.
Can cause acute liver failure.
Chronic infection may lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
More infectious than HIV.
Preventable by vaccine.

-Hepatitis C (HCV)
Can be sexually transmitted (especially with high-risk sexual exposure).
Causes chronic liver damage and liver cancer.
No vaccine (but curable with antivirals).

-Untreated Syphilis (Treponema pallidum)
Can progress to neurosyphilis and cardiovascular syphilis.
Causes brain damage, paralysis, psychosis, aneurysms.
Fatal if untreated.
Fully curable with penicillin.

-Disseminated Gonorrhea
Untreated gonorrhea can spread to blood and joints.
Causes septic arthritis, endocarditis, meningitis.
Increasing antibiotic resistance makes it more dangerous.

-Chlamydia (Untreated – Leading to PID and Sepsis)
Often silent.
Can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, ectopic pregnancy.
Rarely fatal, but complications can be severe.

-Human T-lymphotropic Virus (HTLV-1)
Sexually transmitted retrovirus.
Can cause adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
Also causes neurological disease.
No cure.

-Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-2) in Immunocompromised Individuals
Usually not deadly in healthy people.
Can cause fatal disseminated infection in newborns.
Can lead to encephalitis (brain inflammation).

1. It's a virus. Viruses mostly don't have cures

( Fun fact , we don't have a drug for the virus that causes common cold. It's because it is self limiting that scientists relax about it)

2. Problem with viruses is that they work within cells to do their thing. Bacteria, protozoa, fungi don't , so they can be destroyed without cell damage

3. HIV also has two main types and several subtypes . Thats problematic for drug and vaccine research

But in a way, we have come a long way in HIV drug research. 40 years ago, we had nothing at all

It is not a cure for HIV, but it helps control the virus and keep the immune system strong when used with other HIV medicines.

Lenacapavir is a long-acting antiviral medicine used to treat HIV-1 infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1), especially in people whose HIV is resistant to many other treatments.

Key facts:

Drug class: Capsid inhibitor (it blocks the HIV capsid, a protein shell the virus needs to multiply).

Brand name: Sunlenca

Use: For heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV.

How it’s given:

First as tablets and injections

Then as an injection under the skin every 6 months (twice a year)

Why it’s important:

Works when many other HIV medicines no longer work

Only HIV drug currently dosed twice yearly, which helps people who struggle with daily pills

Common side effects:

Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness)

Nausea

Headache

Wow.

Its like this is also the same thing with other STDs. The drugs just cure dem for a while and later the symptoms will arrive back.

Let me just say it gives you a short-relieve.

But i want to understand something. These infections, not all are gotten through sex. Some of them are toilet infections too.

bevause it is caused by a Virus and Viral diseases have prove stubborn to cure. even the common cold does not have a cure, your body just overcomes it. Any drugs taken only address the symptoms and not the causative organism.

Preventive now. Says so right there:

"Under the deal, the cost of lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injection proven to be up to 100 per cent effective in preventing HIV infection, will drop from $28,000 to just $40 per person annually."
