With AIDS, I always wondered why there's such an emphasis on cure. It's MUCH more likely to be able to create a vaccine. AIDS is no more special than any other virus as far as how it infects-we can't cure ANY virus, not just AIDS. We have not figured it out yet, due to how a virus multiplies (it injects itself into your own cells and uses your cells to multiply). If they can figure out how to cure ONE virus, it will work on ALL viruses. BUT-we have plenty of vaccines to guard against many different viruses, so it just seems that the better route to go is to put most emphasis on is a vaccine.
I don't know, I'm not sure if some diseases will ever be able to be cured, I'm really not sure.
You know they cured aids in babies. They are close to a cure in cancer and They also are making something to help people with rapid aging disease to age slower.
I never said you had to read anything. That is entirely your decision. You were asking if they would ever cure any of these. I was telling everything they have accomplished so far. I don't care if you read any articles. Do what you wish in your own time.
It's mechanics are no different though. There's no difference between AIDS and a viral cold or pneumonia, really. It's all in how it replicates. THAT'S the mystery, how to stop it from replicating. bacteria is easy, virus is difficult, and as yet impossible for us to stop.
Alright, this is bothering me. HIV is the virus. AIDS is not...it's caused by HIV. The problem with a vaccine is that most infection occurs through cell contact with an infected cell so antibodies are not able to access the virus. There's just so much to the virus. I think maybe the only hope is to just wait a looong time until the virus becomes avirulent as seen with SIV.
Do you think there will ever be a cure for Diabetes, HIV, Alzheimer's.

Yeah I should have put vaccine instead but HIV is a virus that is majorly different than most other viruses.

Whatever the babies have. They contract the virus from the mother. The article said "Cures aids in babies".
