Sorry but HIV is still incurable.
though it is treatable, it cannot be cured.
You may have read an article about scientists THINKING UVC rays could cure HIV.
But they are still working on it.

If you have HIV or know someone who has it--i support you/them.

Much Love,
Becca

Just about any virus can be killed by sufficient exposure to UV light. This is because the RNA nature of a virus does not protect it from the deteriorating effects of UV. Organisms with DNA gain protection from UV.

This is not news and it's not just HIV that can be killed this way.

However, as a "treatment" it is highly impractical.

1.) You would need to have your blood flushed through a "UV chamber" until all of the virus is destroyed. These chambers do exist, by the way and are even used in water treatment plants and by very dedicated fish hobbyists to kill viruses in the water.

2.) The UV would also cause damage to other living cells and damage enzymes and other important compounds in the blood.

3.) A virus also lives inside the cell (which is where it reproduces) so the UV would have to kill your own cells to get to the virus.

4.) A retro virus has the ability to copy itself into your own DNA. The book "DNA" by Jim Watson states that about 8% of the human DNA is the result of retro viruses that have embedded themselves in our DNA. Because HIV is a retro virus, it is possible that it also has the ability to copy its own code into your DNA.

I could come up with more but the point is that YES, UV kills any virus and YES it would be possible to use this is a medical application and YES it has been used in documented medical applications during Ebola and Marsburg virus outbreaks in Africa, BUT it is extremely expensive (those who got the experimental treatment were research doctors who got the virus in the field) and is not considered effective enough to be considered a viable option.

Be assured - Absolutely NOT. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. Only chemicals that inhibit regeneration of this will overcome it. At this time there are only methods of reducing the progression of this disease but there is not known cure. If this UV thing worked hundreds of thousands of people would be under very inexpensive treatment.

This treatment is unproves, a hoax, fraud, a way to take both your money and your life.

HIV is the virus. Why would you want to heal it?

If you're asking if the virus can be destroyed or someone infected by HIV be healed, I've never heard of this solution before.

Research Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide. And buy Kevin trudeau's natural cures revealed book. Don't listen to anyone until you read this book it will save your life.

As far as I know there is no cure for HIV.
But what a great step if there was a remedy!!

I have heard of it being treated/cured with homeopathic medicine and acupuncture,like it can't be found in the blood system any longer after treatments.

No. Because if it was true then it would be all over the news.
