This was announced just a few hours ago. And if it works for HIV, couldn't it work for other retroviruses as well? Looks like a cure for HIV is a possibility after all - isn't science great? :)

To "Nurse Lola" - no, YOU read the article again... it says that CURRENT therapies only suppress the viral cycle, but this EXCISES THE VIRUS.

Again to "Nurse Lola" - I said POSSIBLE cure - I know it takes years to do clinical studies.

It only "Suppresses the viruses life cycle".
That is not a CURE.
They are not even close to a CURE yet.
Go back and read that article again, you missed the important facts.

Why cure disease? The drug companies make more money with suppression drugs than cures and vaccines. Cures and vaccines are only good for the PR campaigns.
