That would be great, there are lots of people that aren't junkies that have it.  Do you think that people want others to suffer from a horrible disease?

No. There is currently no cure for AIDs. There are some anti-viral drugs that try and stop the virus from multiplying. These drugs extend a person's lifespan.\n\nRecently, several strains of HIV have mutated and the drugs are not as effective. This is because some people are engaging in unsafe sexual behavior and exposing themselves again and again to these other strains. A person can become infected with several strains at once. If you have HIV, you should not engage in unsafe sexual activities with other HIV sufferers (i.e. always wear a condom unless you are in a monogamous relationship).\n\nI will be walking in a "Aid for AIDS in Nevada" charity walk this Sunday.

It seems that there is a lot of misinformation going around this site regarding AIDS and HIV. I have AIDS but I am far from being a "victim". As far as surviving, yes I am doing quite well on the regimen that my doctor gave me. I take a few pills, and thats pretty much it. I get colds just like everybody else but I am not on deaths door as some may think. Having HIV isn't the best thing in the world but it certainly isn't a death sentence either. My suggestion to you is to check out AIDSmeds.com or thebody.com and get concrete information there and not rely on your fellow peers on yahoo.

Have you ever watched a loved one wither away in their hospital bed from a common cold because the AIDS virus made their immune system so weak? If not, you should be grateful. I watched my uncle sit there and wither away to skin and bones because of AIDS. Please educate yourself more on this subject and be more respectful about it.

I don't know about cancer but I definitely believe there is a cure for AIDS and only the ridiculously rich have access to it. Let's take Magic Johnson for example, he announced over 10 years ago that he was diagnosed with AIDS. He, a few years later, announced that he was "cured" and we've heard nothing about it since. If you see him now, he has not lost any weight...as a matter of fact, he's GAINED weight. Who gains weight with AIDS?? AIDS is not like the common cold...it doesn't go away. You're not magically cured (no pun intended) of this disease. It really angers me that the government would allow millions to die for greed.

I know how you feel, but there is hope. \n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer as well. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

You don't. It has to run its course. It's a virus, so no medications will really work to "cure" it. Maybe they'll someday invent something to kill viruses, but for now, you have to put up with it and try not to get sick in the first place. (I hope you feel better soon!)

sick or not if you are positive you are positive- being sick does not give you the disease -the quicker it is diagnosed and treatment started the longer you will probably have less symptoms and go into full blown AIDS later-better than sooner- D

You know, I think the best way to answer that is to know someone going through it.  For instance, say your sister is your best friend in the world.  Everthing is fine until one day you get a call from her saying that she has be tested positive for HIV.  What's the first thing that will go through your mind?\n\nNow add the fact that the reason she has HIV is because she was in a collision a year or so prior and was injured. She needed a blood transfusion and showed no symptoms.  She and her wonderful husband decide to have a child and as a routine check finds out that she was HIV positive.  Now what do you think?\n\nWell, I think that if the person I've known all my life suddenly came down with a disease like cancer or had a heart attack, I wouldn't stay away from him or her, but try to understand them and help them if they need help.  I also imagine what it would be like not having them in my life just because I stayed away from them knowing they had heart disease.  \n\nYes, I know that things like HIV can be passed on. But seriously, how are they going to pass it on to me?  \n\nIn essence, I think that if someone has HIV, I should treat them as someone who doesn't, as long as I'm not planning on sleeping with them:)\n\nI hope that answered your question. :)

You're right...The movie Forrest Gump did have AIDS in it--"Jenny", his love, got AIDS from her alternative lifestyle (unprotected sex, intervenous drug use). They don't say "AIDS" in the movie, but she describes the symptoms and the lack of any treatment, which is what AIDS treatments started with back in in the early '80s. Obviously there is no cure--yet. Many people, including some in the government, thought that AIDS was an affliction of the Gay Community and drug users and wasn't important for "normal," heterosexual people, that is, until the heterosexual community started developing the disease as well. Children developed AIDS from being born to HIV positive mothers who got the disease from their unfaithful husbands, young people contracted it from their dentists, etc. It is a horrible disease and brought a real halt to promiscuous behavior that had predominated in the 1960s and 1970s. There was quite a stigma about AIDS for many years and there was a real fear about "catching" it from casual contact with people. Television tried to deal with this with television movies, sitcoms, news broadcasts, 60 Minutes program...the list goes on and on. Mainstream movies about AIDS continue this tradition. When Liz Taylor comforted her gay friend, Rock Hudson, who was a dying of the diesase in 1985, I know many were shocked that she would put herself in such danger (she's still alive, as far as I know, 20+ years later). "Magic" Johnson, the basketball player, came out with the news he was HIV-positive and the media had a field-day with it--other BB players were concerned that he might have infected them by sweating on them. Princess Diana was quite instrumental in getting the issue of compassionate care of AIDS victims to the forefront. She too defied "common sense" and comforted AIDS patients by holding their hands and stroking their hair, etc. These images were broadcast worldwide. I remember as a teenager then thinking that she must be very brave. In effect, she was much more informed than the rest of us. My 2nd cousin died of AIDS. Hope I've helped...Good luck with your assignment!

Yes of course...\nif it was something I was extremely prone to get and it was something terminal...well then I know which organizations to donate money to for research :P.\nBut yeah, I really would even though ultimately it wouldn't change a thing.  I would still know that its good to live a healthy lifestyle.  I'd still try to eat healthy, get some exercise, meditate, etc.. Beyond this, there's really not a whole lot you can do, just pray :P

how big of a bet?  and are the payee's good for the money?\n\nif i was already dying of something, then maybe.  i mean you dont die of aids in a week, so if i had only a few months to live, id spend as much money doing all the great stuff i wanted.\n\nplus id bang millions of prostitutes and give them aids, and hopefully wipe out the whole Vice sector of america

Nothing - there is no universal cure all.  There are laws which govern the selling of items based on unsubstantiated quasi-medical claims.\n\nWise up.

HIV IS A REALATIVELY NEW DISEASE. I THINK THAT OUR SCIENTISTS AND MEDICAL PROFFESIONALS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT CAN HELP COMBAT HIV. WHAT WE NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT THIS WILL TAKE TIME AND MONEY BEFORE A TRULY EFFECTIVE MEDICINE WILL BE MARKETED. GIVE THEM TIME.
