What new medication will cure AIDS?

Question

Do any doctors, pharmacists, drugs company or pharmaceutical corporations ever try to create medication with the "invert-mirror" formulation. Thus the "invert-mirror" medication will eat-up all the AIDS cells. I am not a doctor but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night....lol.

Answer 1

Current AIDS medication works by stopping the virus at various part of its life cycle, thereby stopping a infection (eg. prophylaxis given to exposed health care workers) or keeping the virus from developing into AIDS.

In theory it is possible to make a drug that targets HIV infected cells and kills them. But the problem with that is that HIV is a retrovirus, which mutates at a very high rate, in fact in a HIV+ person we can detect different versions of the virus month to month. Thus even if we can make that drug, its likely that the virus will mutate into a new form that isn't affected by the drug.

Answer 2

There is no cure for aids. All they can do is manage it. People can live long lives with the virus, maybe years and years before it develops, but the virus is still there and can still be passed on to others. Even if you survive a long time with it, if you give it to others and they happen to have low resistance to it, and die quickly, it is still a real death due to aids. If I had aids, I would never have sex again. It is just a matter of responsibility to the rest of the human species.

Answer 3

many medications that will attack the AIDS virus, including approved ones, will also kill body cells.
Viruses are very rudimentary and hardy. I personally would like to see the glycoprotein cover capped by a proteinish med that would change the shape of the virus enough so that it could not attack. Shape is important in biochem. If it can't match up, it can't attack. But the same cap could render neccessary cells functionless. That is the problem.
