The emphasis should be on the "may". In addition to that there are lots of caveats. If ever a cure were to be discovered, I could imagine and increase in highly risky sexual behaviour by those who think that it didn't matter because they could be cured. They wouldn't even consider that they might infect others while they were ill.

We can all hope. Hope is what keeps some of us from going crazy in this messed up world we call home.

I'll believe it when it's fact,
and when there are no reasons to disregard it.


It's always good to see new possibilities,
but they're been far too many close calls
that have been debunked.

That's sarcasm I hope....

If they were a cure or vaccine for HIV/AIDS
I'd still use protection (always).

Other devastating STD's still exist

"Vaccines" are made to prevent infections, this sounds like a cure to me...while I'm happy about it, I remain skeptical...HIV is too hypermutable...if it can be whipped out before it mutates....then good...but I still wonder how are patients going to survive...HIV infects T lymphocytes, the very cells that are supposed to conduct the immune response...if they are eliminated, can a immunosupressed patient manage to survive?...

Seems to me they're talking about very early stages of infection...then yes, it probably could work...

OHSU itself provides a much better explanation of the recent developments:

I had a talk to my CNA instructor about this today
cause he's a nurse and is also into medical articles
and things of the like.

He said it's still not fool-proof and that if someone would
like to get vaccinated, that person would have to get his or
her blood tested first to see if the vaccine would even take
effect.

It's something though..!

Even if it were fool-proof, I'd still definitely use protection
cause like someone already mentioned theres a whole other
ton of other STD's you can get D:

Well, SIV was infecting apes since prehistoric times...it took it 2000 years for it to mutate, cross-species and become HIV...odd thing....

Whether SIV makes for a proper model or not, at least is a MAJOR advance...

Did HIV take that long to mutate, or did it take that long for us to discover it?
