W00t!

Very good news, lets hope it turns out even better

That is great news. There are diseases even more deadly than AIDS that is might help too.

Long before the Sopranos, HBO was putting on great programming. This docudrama about the AIDS epidemic has a great cast.

And the Band Played On

It was done at the "Max-Planck-Institut für Molekulare Zellbiologie und Genetik" (MPI-CBG) in Dresden and the "Heinrich-Pette-Institut für Experimentelle Virologie und Immunologie" (HPI) in Hamburg. Tthe involved scientists expect practical relevance (medications) not before ten years (at the earliest).

The resulting drugs, as it seems now, also will be very expensive, which means that most patients around the world will not be able to afford them.

The creators of HIV will think of something else by the time the cure becomes available...

All we can do is hope for the sake of humanity, unless NWO takes over...

If it is successful I hope it's released at an affordable cost...unlike some of the advanced medicines for some forms of cancer

Amazing!

There are a few kicks, though:

*SCIENCE CONTENT AHEAD*

1) You would have to pump your body full of the stuff to allow it to reach every part of your body.

2) It still kills the host cell. In doing so, though, it stops the ability of the virus to reproduce if attacked at the right time. Short term: Bad Long Term: VERY good.

3) Tests still need to be done on multiple (thousands) human genomes to ensure that it (the enzyme) does not target normal, uninfected cells.

In all, this is a good first step in ridding the world of this epidemic. Hopefully, it will eventually become as sucessful as the removals of Smallpox and Polio were.
