Do you think we havent found a cure for hiv because it' s beyond human understanding?

Question

Is it because our current biological understanding is considered backwards in comparison to the virus

Is it because the complexity of hiv is beyond the capacities of understanding

Answer 1

Curing a disease means returning an affected person to normal. For HIV, this is currently beyond our science.

The reason for this is because the virus puts its DNA into yours. Every infected cell, then, has HIV DNA in it. And every time it divides it also duplicates that DNA. This is why a person can be infected and seem healthy for years... the DNA is just lying low in the cells and not forcing them to produce more virus particles.

Once those sections are activated, the cells crank out HIV particles until they die. And then you lose much of your immune system.

The only way to CURE an HIV infection, then, is to be able to go through the DNA in every cell of an adult and remove only those sections having to do with HIV. This is completely beyond our current capability. If we could do this, we could also remove quite a few other genetic diseases and other retroviral infections as well (or, for that matter, many traits you might not like).

BUT it is not beyond our theoretical capacity. As genetic engineers learn more and more about how to target treatments to specific sections of the human genome, this becomes closer and closer to reality. I expect it to be possible within the next century. Maybe two on the outside.

Answer 2

Not beyond human understanding, just beyond our current level of human understanding. With research and perserverance we will eventually find a cure.
Although as another answer says, viruses keep mutating so once we cure HIV there will just be another one to deal with.

Answer 4

MRSA is not a mutation of HIV.
No, it is not beyond our understanding, just beyond what we understand at the moment. Every drug company would LOVE to find the cure, because then they would have the basics of a cure--in theory--for every other kind of virus.

Answer 5

Scientists can't find a cure for HIV because they started on a false premise. Only people with low body resistance acquire HIV. They must start on that.

Answer 6

The cure has been found - Big Pharma does not want you to know about it. Think about it...If you don't mess with the immune system, it will resolve any and all problems. What messes with the immune system ? Any entity - virus, mold - yes mold, fungus, bacteria that has the same energetic frequency as the disease is going to initiate and propitiate that disease...subtract the pathogen and all that is left is health.

Answer 7

It keeps on mutating. Now we have MRSA. I never heard of MRSA until a few months ago, & now it's all over the news. It's one superbug after another.
