Sense HIV is easily destroyed, why haven't they found a known cure?

Question

HIV can only survive outside the body for a few hours. The natural elements alone are enough to destroy the virus! So you would think that sense the virus is easily destroyed outside the body, they would be able to develop a medicine that could eliminate the virus easy! Hepititis B (which can also be classified as an STD sense it is commonly transmitted that way) can survive as long as weeks outside the body! I read an article (after searching through google) that a HIV positive man took 6 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day and it brought is viral load way down! so far down, that the doctor did not know for sure if he still had the virus or not! You can't believe everything you hear but Vinegar is powerful stuff! I could see how the vinegar could have an impact on the virus. But that is not known for sure.

Answer 1

To date, science is unable to kill a virus, any virus, while in the host-without killing the host. This applies to cold viruses, chicken pox, herpes, warts, hepatitis and most of the childhood illnesses for which there are immunizations. From human to human, lots of viruses spread like wild fire-look at pink-eye in the school environment. At least with HIV, since intimate behaviors drive transmission, the spread can be avoided.

So, right now, HIV immunization seems to be the promise of the future. Immunize it almost out of existence like small pox and polio. But because of the HIV's ability to rapidly and constantly mutate, they're having a tough time with developing vaccinations. In the meantime we can and have to reduce the behaviors that allow HIV to be transmitted.

Vinegar gets all kinds of good press. It's acidic? and this may not be a good environment for HIV - but I wonder if that guy who took the vinegar was also on antiretroviral drugs? And we should always remember that HIV is NOT ONLY free-flowing in the bloodstream but is also found in body organs-liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, etc. Vinegar would have a big job, tackling that-without harming the organs and other cells we need to live.

But since it's not hopeless, keep thinking about it, continue to educate yourself and others and make sure not to contribute to the problem. You probably already know what follows but here it is anyway:

1. Abstinence is the only 100% way to avoid being infected with HIV.
2. Have sex only within a monogomous relationship.
3. Practice safer sex-using a condom properly with every sexual encounter.
4. Don't use unprescribed drugs.
5. If you use injection drugs, never share any injection equipment.
6. If you do share and you should not - clean all injection equipment - including the cooker - with bleach.
7. If HIV positive and pregnant, get good prenatal care, preferably from a provider who has experience with pregnant women and HIV and follow your provider's guidance.

Answer 2

Excellent question indeed ! Nobody has yet found a vaccine or a way to eradicate completely the HIV virus from the body. But there is hope. Antiretrovirals only lower the viral load replication to an acceptable level which is not threatening the CD-4 cell count, thus maintaining the immune system "healthy" against Opportunistic Infections. But their side effects are heavy on the body on the long term.
Alternatively, in China I have found a biodiversity center which has created a tea which is a combination of 12 plants called Revivo. It's no vinegar, but a powerfull immune system booster which is proven to fight viral infections, including the HIV.
I take it myself and I had great results so far, thus delaying the intake of ARVs as long as possible, and hopefully for ever.

So there are indeed medicines that have been found to fight the HIV virus, although none (Modern or Traditional) seems to eradicate such virus completely without the continuous intake of an antiretroviral agent (chemical or natural).

A virus isn't living in the sense that a bacteria is. It has the capacity to replicate but only by inserting itself into a host cell. For this reason, it has not yet been possible to develop any drug to kill any virus. Since the virus particles themselves are not 'alive' they are difficult to destroy.

Bacteria however are separate cells from our human body cells - so they can be targetted by antibiotics and destroyed.

This is why antibiotics are wasted on cold and flu victims - these are viral infections and antibiotics cannot touch them.

We can protect against infection by a virus using a vaccine; but once you are infected, a vaccine is of no use. And with HIV, we have been unable to develop an effective vaccine because the virus mutates - changes shape/characteristics - easily. A vaccine works by stimulating your body to create anti-bodies - cells that can sense the invading virus, and destroy the particles before they get into cells. However, if the virus mutates, the anti-bodies fail to recognize the virus. So - we can develop a vaccine against a very specific size and shape of HIV, and when it mutates, the vaccine fails to be effective.

Some trials were done doing whole blood replacement therapy; but that didn't work either, because the virus hides in lymph nodes, and is not flushed out when the blood is exchanged.

It is an extremely complex virus and very difficult to fight.

Answer 4

wow is it true?..well HIV takes a very long time to kill..it does not kill you in weeks time...it brings down your immunity level and other diseases kills you..why doctor haven't find a cure?..well HIV is a virus and it changes shape rapidly..doctors are unable to find specific cure for it..that is why...who knows maybe one day you can find the cure?

Answer 5

I think they don't have a cure because the pharmaceutical companies make 2 much money off of people being sick.

Answer 6

i might right now paintings to get it patented and get criminal rights to it. Then i might attempt and hit upon a benefactor (or various) who might fund me so as that i ought to mass produce it and furnish it to all people who're affected international extensive. the final component i might prefer is for the grasping scientific marketplace to get their hands on it so as that they could paintings to apply it for income. Or worse yet by some ability discredit it and sweep it below the rug so as that they could proceed freeing drugs that basically quell indicators isntead of combating the ailment in order that as that they could save cashing in.

Answer 7

It's a viral infection.... so far... no cure for virus yet even simple common colds virus.... probably if you study further...... you can discover a cure for viral infection..........
