Zigackly!

If it works - even if it's not a complete cure or whatever - it has to be used.  Any help is,er....,help.

If it's a treatment then it's not a vaccine.

Vaccines prevent illness.  This is an antibiotic or somesuch.

I'm just trying to keep the terms straight.

[aldo_14]

No, vaccines are agents which are administered in order to stimulate a response by the immune system; they can be used for both therapeutic and preventative purposes.

EDIT; i.e. in this case to stimulate the immune system to react correctly.  you'll note that its referred to by the doctor as a 'vaccine' but is applied to already HIV infected patients.

Three cheers! Now I can go back to having wild, unprotected sex with strangers without worrying about AIDS!

[Annihilation]

It's good and all but unless they get a 100% cure the damn virus will adapt to this and any other treatment quickly again. The ****ing thing should have Borg roots...

a very good friend of my mother, who lives in Africa, was diagnozed with cancer a year or two ago.  chemo didn't work, at all, but they tried a new method on her, and the cancer cells are dying rapidly, she's got all her hair back, and apparently she looks great, you wouldn't even know she had cancer, and everything she's been through.

i heard of a person having the same treatment here too... a method that removes only cancer cells, and no other ones.  i mean, i'm sure it's not perfect, but it's still something

By any chance are you reffering to the German doctor who basically heats you up to kill the cancer cells?

Umm, no.  Man has only figured out something God has always known.

... simultaneously defeating his plans for the apocolyptic sex plague of DOOM!

[Liberator]

If God had wanted to use a plague to kill us it wouldn't have taken 20 years to find a passable treatment, we would never have found it.  Not too mention that it would be much more virulent.  

This was meant as a lesson to not be so laschivous.

[Knight Templar]

Not to kill us, but homos.

Duh.

[Liberator]

All it takes is a little self control and HIV is eminently controlable.  But no, we have to rut around like animals.

[Knight Templar]

Uh huh.

Because not having sex really saves lives... leave it to you to be ****ing ungreatful.
