Although there is a lot of research being done on this disease as of this point no actual cure has been found. AIDS is actually a number of different syndromes and although the symptoms can be treated to all eve most discomfort once a person is diagnosed they cannot be cured.

There is no cure, my dear!!This desease leads to death. But death can be detained for some years by special medicine. However, it is true that the most people having AIDS do not die from the virus of AIDS but from other kinds of viruses. This is because these people have a not well immune system.Their immune system is destroyed by AIDS. Scientists, moreover, have yet to find a treatment because this virus has many forms that havent been recognised.

there's no cure for AIDS, there's medicine that can prolong life of people with AIDS but can't cure it completely

Yes, so much more.... all from Chinese Medicinals...
Teaflavin® & Immune Support
Anti-viral effect: TFs can inhibit HIV-1 reverse-transcriptase. The 50% inhibition concentration is 0.5ul/ml. The inhibition constant Ki is 0.49 umol/l. The anti-viral activity will be enhanced when theaflavin is combined with gallic acid. TFs can also inhibit human DNA Polymerase α, β, γ and E. coli. RNA Polymerase. Relevant reports show that the ability of theaflavins inhibiting HIV-1 transcriptase is by 20-40 times stronger than that of presently used anti-AIDS drug AZT without any toxic effects (CA,1994,120(9):100285).

Abstract: The steam distillate prepared from fresh plants of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (Saururaceae) was found to have direct inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), influenza virus, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) without showing cytotoxicity, but not against poliovirus and coxsackie-virus. The loss of viral infectivity was related to the duration of drug treatment. Three major components of the distillate, methyl n-nonyl ketone, lauryl aldehyde, and capryl aldehyde, also inactivated HSV-1, influenza virus, and HIV-1. These in vitro findings demonstrate that the essential oils provide virucidal activity against enveloped viruses by interfering with the function of virus envelope.
Anti-HIV Properties of Chinese Medicinal Herb -H.C.X.
[LB.A.6014] ANTI-HIV PROPERTIES OF CHINESE MEDICINAL HERB-H.C.X
Zhuo, Huan C1, Hudson JB2, Lee W1. 1Zhuollen Technology Ltd., New Westminster; 2University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Objective: To evaluate Chinese Herbal Complex X for anti-HIV activity.
Materials: Lonicera japonica; Taraxacum monoglicum; Phellodendron Chinese; Coix lacryma-jobi; Astragalus membranaceus; Boswellia carterii etc.
Methods: The plaque-assays of evaluation of HCX had carried out in virology laboratory, Division of Medical Microbiology, VGH. Results: 25-50% HCX was non-toxic and displayed significant anti-Sindbis virus activity; 20-40% HCX had anti-mouse cytomegalovirus activity effects, but less than the former. The tests for anti-HIV activity were carried out in the B.C. Provincial AIDS Lab. (B.C. Centre for Disease Control) in conformity with regulations for HIV culture work. The extract, derived by steam extraction of HCX powder, is considered the starting material (100%) after making isotonic with concentrated saline solution. The extract was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 20 minutes in the Sorvall centrifuge to pellet particula material. The clear supernatant was diluted with an equal volume of double-strength medium and filtered. The extract was then diluted with different volumes of medium and mixed (in duplicate) with an equal volume of HIV (103 TCD50) in the wells of tissue culture trays. Final concentrations of the extract (100µ1+100µ1virus) were 50, 30, 20, 10, 5 and 0%. The mixtures were incubated at 37ºc for 60 minutes and 4x105 CEM cells, in 2.0 ml complete medium (10% serum) were added to each culture well. At 5 days culture supernat. were removed for p24 antigen assays.
Conclusions: 1) HCX had significant anti-HIV activity. At concentration 50%, there were no viral CPE, i.e. the virus had been completely destroyed. 2) There was no difference between the extracts derived from 4 different sources.

There have many anti AIDS virus documents from Chinese Researchers, mainly from Chinese Meidicinal , it can inhibit and boost up immune system, help CD4 , Help T cells

2 ways: kill everyone with HIV, or wait until everyone has it and it becomes endemic, and those who can survive with it will.
Natural selection will take over.
