Well, they need to test it, I mean if it has special antibodies or something who knows what that shit could do if consumed by somebody or a whole bunch of other stuff!

it would probably give them a craving for fried chicken and watermelon

wish this was something other than vaginal proteins (GAY/IMMORAL SEX DISEASE rants forseen) but this is still good news, hope they can make a cure

There is no cure for the gay immoral sex disease wakka wakka.

personally, I don't think they'll ever find a vaccination or injective cure for aids or cancer... sometimes that's just the way things work. Maybe in the way distant future but not anytime soon. What we're doing with stuff like this now is just babysteps to still learn to understand these diseases, which we haven't figured out completely at the most complex level.

I can't name one well known disease (outside of STI's and some cancers, obviously.), that hasn't been cured by vaccination or injections? STI's, AIDS, and HIV are the only ones I know, pretty much everything is cured in some way, or CLOSE ENOUGH to might as well be cured. Mebe I'm missing something tho, but human body's are easily adaptable and can eventually overcome anything, and with enough research and a breakthrough or two, it's only time.

You're basically saying that you don't think we'll never ever have contact with aliens. It's only a matter of time. Maybe it won't happen next year, or 5 years from now, or 10 years from now, or 100 years from now, or hell, even 1,000 years from now, but eventually it is bound to. This is still a really important step towards that, but it's going to happen some time, it's just a matter of when that time is.

they should isolate everyone with the hiv strain and kill them.  then, all the pure bloods will be left and the world will be bliss.

oh god, if only i was king of the world...

It's the romans fault you're all aids ridden.
Kenya and such didn't exactly have a large roman impact, so that could be why.

That's pretty flimsy. An equivalent argument would be something like me saying something like "a very real lack of tiger meat could have caused native Americans to die of smallpox."

it's usually best to take these articles with a grain of salt, but they do help suggest possible answers.

No, this is not great news.
Several strategies have been developed over the years for combatting the AIDS virus. The problem is that, as a retro-transcripting virus, it's mutation potential is enormous. Eventually the AIDS virus can overcome a vaccine or whatever.

Also, immunity to AIDS is not something particularly new, there is a mutation of the gene that encodes the CCR5 receptor, called CCR5-Δ32, this variant is missing 32 base pairs in its sequence, and this leads to a disfunctional receptor to which CCR5 cannot bind, so the strains of HIV that use CCR5 as a co-receptor cannot infect these cells. Of course, this brought some other secondary effects like increased vulnerability to other diseases.

STI's, AIDS, and HIV are the only ones I know, pretty much everything is cured in some way, or CLOSE ENOUGH to might as well be cured.

Okay, that's pretty annoying. That's like someone going "which do you like better, my white dress or my red dress" and someone replies "Yes."

Which part are you specifically saying no to, pray tell? You quoted the whole damn thing and there's about 6 things you could say no to. This would help me actually respond back instead of having to guess which part you're saying no to.

The first part, about vaccines curing everything.
