December 14, 200421 yr “We may eventually win the war against HIV/AIDS. That would be an extremely rewarding and satisfying outcome,” Dr. Arnold said. Talk about a knack for understatement. This would be the pharmaceutical discovery of the century. The story makes it sound like the drugs are in clinical-stage testing but there's no indication of how far along they are. Even if this has another several years in the clinical pipeline it still has enormous potential. Science rocks.
December 14, 200421 yr OMG, this would be fabulous news. If this works, I'd drop the vaccine into the water supply in Africa to do everything it took to save all those babies who die of aids a year. Of course I'm sure some new deadly disease will popup, even harder to cure. It seems like as we develop a cure for one, another one or an offshoot of one will pop up harder to cure. Hopefully they can figure out the causes of cancer and better cures for it as well as Aids.
December 14, 200421 yr I hope that this can stop AIDS, but I just doubt a cure will happen during my lifetime. And besides, these guys are from Jersey...
December 14, 200421 yr This make me think of Dennis Miller. What was it he said? "What kind of loser are you if you can't get laid once they come up with a cure for AIDS???". LOL! It's a great routine, and oh so very true! Of course, his bit was from around '88, so it packed more intensity behind it.
December 15, 200421 yr Oh man, what great news... People are gonna start f***in n suckin like the old pre-AIDS days!!!
December 16, 200421 yr I'm surprised this got only 6 replies. I haven't seen it in any major news circuits, however. Have I just plain missed it?
December 16, 200421 yr I'm surprised this got only 6 replies. I haven't seen it in any major news circuits, however. Have I just plain missed it? Well, it's still in early clinical stages, so in the end it might not even pan out. Plus, there's been so much backlash from recent suggestions drug cdompanies are rushing thinngs to market and disragarding health warnings, maybe the audience at large is somewhat skeptacle (sp?).
