I am very sorry to have to admit that, in America, we did not take the proper steps toward containing the spread of HIV.
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta were well-aware that the most effective means of containing diseases and preventing them from reaching epidemic proportions is by testing all the citizens and then isolating all the carriers until they have either recovered or died.
This technique has been used many times in the past to prevent the spread of smallpox, plague, etc. It is the only realistic method, in that we realized even in the early days that finding a cure or vaccine would require years of effort and research.
Unfortunately, the CDC reckoned without human nature. They expected the carriers to police themselves and exercise restraint so that the disease would not spread any further. However, when people are addicted to sexual pleasure and will not give it up for any reason, self-restraint does not work. It requires external restraint.
If the CDC had been realistic about the problem, they could have isolated the relatively few carriers many years ago, when the sources of the disease would have been easily contained, and there would have been many, many fewer cases. Many lives could have been spared.
Even assuming that a cure could have been found quickly, since it is a deadly disease, it would have been more prudent to contain and isolate the reservoirs of the virus, the people who had it. To allow them to go on being a public health menace is just plain stupid! If I personally had HIV, I could never have sex again, to protect everybody else. It is a matter of responsibility.
But public outcry by those who would not give up their pleasure even if it cost others their lives won out. The CDC caved in to 'political correctness' and failed to use the most effective method that had ben known to work in the past.
Until we do isolate the carriers and prevent the spread of HIV, there will continue to be more victims.
Condoms do not stop HIV. No condom manufacturer is willing to risk having sex with a known HIV carrier using only one of their condoms for protection. They know that they fail too often to take the risk. They are just making money by selling a defective product that allows other people to die. They know that it is impossible to prove that the user did not somehow damage the condom before putting it on. But no product is perfect and I would not trust any thin layer of plastic to protect my life. There have been plenty of children born when their parents condom broke. This is enough proof that condoms are not a good enough means of preventing HIV.
I don't know how the situation is in countries other than America. I do know that human nature is the same everywhere. Contact your government and insist that they begin a program of universal testing and confining and isolating the HIV carriers, until a cure is found or the disease has died off due to the carriers dying off.
This may not sound fair, but life itself is not fair, and it is not fair of anybody to expect the government to make up for the unfairness of life to them. They did not cause HIV. They owe it to the rest of the public, those who do not have HIV, to protect them by the best means available.

Dear Dharmesh,
HIV is a virus . It is not so easy to find cure for virus infections and that too for HIV . Research is going on and one day they may find cure for that. It may be tomorrow or some years ahead. Till then we have to wait . No other go.

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 years back, whilst I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I know loads of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/L2Z6S everything improved.
Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

nicely we've no decision yet to attend!! all international huge even however scientists are engaged on a treatment/vaccine for HIV/AIDS. the way I see however, whilst a treatment/vaccine is got here across yet another virus will maximum in all probability arrive. probably much greater deadly than the HIV/AIDS virus. i think of we needs viruses, it enables keep the inhabitants down and that i does no longer be bowled over if interior 50-one hundred years a pandemic looks it is so deadly that it kills an significant share of the inhabitants.

We spend so many dollars on oher stuff like missions out in space, or governmental stuff, when all this money could be put in good used and try to find a cure for diseases. Right now we can only have faith and continue to trust in God.

It is a virus, therefore hard to find a cure that won't attack the human cells. I think it is close to impossible.

can't "cure" viruses. Not even the common cold.
You'll see a vaccine soon maybe, but I don't foresee a cure ever.
