Scientists were able to isolate two antibodies responsible for resistance to the disease in an African patient. The discovery could be key to the development of a vaccine.
After nearly two decades of futile searching for a vaccine against the AIDS virus, researchers are reporting the tantalizing discovery of antibodies that can prevent the virus from multiplying in the body and producing severe disease.
They do not have a vaccine yet, but they may well have a road map toward the production of one.
A team based at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla reports today in the journal Science that they have isolated two so-called broadly neutralizing antibodies that can block the action of many strains of HIV, the virus responsible for AIDS.
man, this looks like a pretty serious find! this is great fuckin' news.
-
ye, read this on the bbc this morning. kind of more like a suppressant than a cure but still, this is pretty exciting stuff!
-
Meanwhile they try to stop aids by cutting people's d*cks like it actually did anything
-
yeah, regardless this is a good developement. great news!
-

go away
-
you guys are dumbasses. dick doesnt have an asterisk in it.
-
What I said is actually true some people said that by circumcising guys they could reduce aids rates or whatever but then in africa there are people who think that you can't get aids if you're circumcised and it doesn't really work at all at least with this kind of mentality
-
god's not going to be too happy about this!

yeah, without a steady supply of dead black people going to heaven, who's gonna pick all the cotton and clean up around there?

Don't forget he's also an equal opportunity employer he's going to lose his black to white ratios.
On a serious note i'm sure Mr Magic Johnson will be happy for this breakthrough.
-
maybe next time we should invent the cure BEFORE we release the disease
-
i can't wait to see this made available by a for profit drug company demanding unreasonable amounts for even the smallest necessary regimine
-
This is pretty amazing, but I'm sure how effective a vaccine is going to be. It's a big step, but most people who need the vaccine aren't going to get it before it's too late. Even a lot of people who could actually afford the vaccine aren't going to get it because no one ever wants to dream about getting AIDS.
Man what a bummer I am sometimes

I don't understand what you're talking about at all.
-
Uh I think just about everyone is going to get the vaccine because nobody wants to dream about getting AIDS. That's the exact reason they ARE going to get it.
-
What about all the people who die of tuberculosis because they can't afford the tuberculosis medicine? I mean I think it will be the same thing when they say they invented the cure for aids
-
here is the cure for aids. i found it and i am breaking it here:
don't have sex with people with aids(or a goat)

Unless it costs ten thousand dollars which there is no indication it won't unless the government steps in. (edit: not tens of thousands of dollars maybe but lots of money. Cholesterol medication costs like hundreds of dollars and a pill and that is for something extremely common.)
How many people don't get the flu shot? The flu shot is free! Admittedly the chances if dying from the flu are not that high unless you are 90 years old or a baby, but most people don't think they are going to get AIDS.
A lot of people are going to just assume they won't get AIDS because the entire problem with AIDS is that everyone is totally uneducated about it! If you think "nah, I won't get AIDS" and it costs a shitload of money to get the vaccine then why would you get it?
PLUS where do they have the most AIDS? AFRICA. And where do they not have a reliable medical service? The same places in Africa that the AIDS pandemic runs wild. Good luck trying to get people who think having sex with a virgin cures AIDS (which some people do!) to take a vaccine.
They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and still most people don't attempt to ramify medical situations until the last possible moment or until it's too late. Most guys I know don't want to go to the doctor because they might find out there is something wrong with them. This mentality carries over into not getting vaccinated for things they have very little chance of contracting in their lifetimes. This vaccine really only acts as extra insurance for people who are already taking precautions against it. Unless it is 100% effective it will probably end up causing scenarios like "Don't worry about a condom baby we're both vaccinated" because people are stupid!
-
Great now I can have unprotected sex and not worry about those anoying aids!!
What the girl migth get preggers?? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

That's not a cure, it's just a way to prevent being infected with HIV/AIDS, dummy.

The cure for AIDS:
Just dont have unprotected sex dumbass!
And if the prostitute you are sleeping with (cause u are a loser and none lieks you) charges you less than 40$, you bet your ass she has AIDS, DONT DO IT.

It would only be a "cure" if we already HAD HIV/AIDS, but just because you abstained from unprotected sex doesn't mean you're getting them cured. Idiot.

i know a final solution.........

-
Once on Oprah they were talking about how in some parts in Africa, people believed that having sex with somebody without aids would cause it to get off of you and go onto them. People were fucking BABY raping and shit.. fucked up sad stuff..

Well, I was speaking more along the lines of those who believe AIDS is a divine biological weapon against the sexually deviant.
-

They are okay with incest? Good, I hope they never have any new DNA in their lineage, maybe that way we'll have a new species in like three thousand years, Homo Sapiens Misanthropus.
-
I would love to get excited about this, but I think I've heard something along these lines before, and then you don't hear anything about it again...
I hope they can prove me wrong though...
-
it's because most of the research is done in africa. we should see more results once they switch to homing pigeon
