Why the cure for AIDS is not being released

While this is has some deep morals attached to it no matter what, it is of deep importance that the people know why this is happening. The fact and sad truth is that this form of disease that in one way or another is killing people by the day is something that needs to happen in this world.
We saw the increase in thinking before-hand about engaging in intercourse with a stranger from the late 60's up until now. Why? People do not want to die, especially if it is by something that is corroding you from the inside slowly.

Now, we see ads for preservatives that are thought to have a great message, even though they only show a video (majority of times). These kinds of preservatives are being further improved on, and have new kinds of micro-structures that allow less micro organisms to pass by. Some people might ask themselves why not make a cure instead of making various forms of preservatives. I believe that there are many answers to that question, two being to avoid getting any kind of STD's or an infection, and to prevent pregnancy in most of the cases.

If these diseases, especially AIDS were not in the world causing "problems", then we would surely be humping like bunnies in mate season. We would not be as cautious as one would need to be these days and therefore we would see an exponential and geometrical growth in the populace of the world we live in resulting in less resources for everyone, more competition etc etc. It is kind of sad, but some sacrifices have to be made in order for everything to function adequately.

This post just gave me aids ...

This is why, sadly.



But AIDS, is like cancer. It's a very complicated disease to treat. It doesn't help it targets leucocytes.

Two things, money, and the virus itself. From what I've researched, the virus, like influenza, is very unstable and tends to mutate at a rapid rate, much so that multiple strains of the virus can exist in you at one time. Plus we have to consider that HIV is capable of fighting against the thing fighting it. By attacking the immune system, it becomes difficult to fight back, especially because the virus attacks a keystone type of cell that gets the immune system going. Finally, there's the source of this and everyone's problems. Money is needed to research and keep scientists going. Especially because resources are so DAMN EXPENSIVE thanks to big companies, it's hard to get anything done. and then there is production and distribution, which,like shipping and handling. Can cost more than he actual item if shipped far enough.

And on your description of current medicine, as I know! current AIDS medication only can slow and disable the HIV by preventing them from multiplying correctly or entering the cell, but the medication must betaken readily and is expensive, which goes back to the money thing. The closest thing I've seen to a cure is research on a genetic modification that prevents viruses from entering the cell, preventing the virus from spreading.

have you ever looked into the disease or do you only know it by name?
do a little research then delete your post.

No need to jump into the action now keyboard warrior, there is no need to be an ass here.
And I am pretty sure I know more about this than what you do. :)

The issue I have with your theory is that AIDS is not a disease, it's a syndrome. HIV (human immunodeficiency Virus) is the disease that leads to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. The basic process of this syndrome is the deterioration of the immune system that allows for opportunistic diseases (and tumors) that are normally not as life threatening or common to take over the body and eventually cause death.

There is no cure for AIDS currently not because we are trying to keep create an artificial natural selection or for the economy’s sake; there is just no 100% cure yet. People are still trying to find a cure and if it ever happens I doubt they are going to withhold it from the public. Even if they do it will come out eventually. There will probably be a preventive vaccine for HIV in the future before there is an actual cure.

The other issue I have with your theory is what about the people who are raped by those with HIV/AIDS, get blood transfusions, children that are born to HIV+ mothers, or use drugs and acquire it through needle sharing? It is not always through the transfer of bodily fluids from intercourse and if it is, that doesn’t mean it is all consensual. Another issue is what if you are with a person that either doesn’t know they have HIV/AIDS/any STDs or they know, but don’t tell you.

Sexual intercourse is one of the main and most preventable ways of acquiring HIV and other STDs. Education on this helps immensely, but in all honesty there is always going to be a risk in obtaining something such as HIV, HSV, HPV, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia. Knowing and doing are two very different things.

Besides we already have an overpopulation in the world and this may change things even possible for the worse, but to do nothing about the suffering of those for the greater of the good is no excuse. It’s a scapegoat.

You did not just...

You are right, it is just a habit of mine to call it a disease instead of what it really is.

Addressing your first paragraph, you are also right about that, since one of the many examples and in the cases that I have been told about the patient begins to suffer from pneumonia, which is normally not life-threatening.

Addressing your second paragraph, it is true there is no "cure" yet, and if it is released it will be too expensive. The virus will just keep mutating to be able to stand the vaccination and it will create a chain reaction of making even more powerful "cures". I think most of the people who get these kind/s of virus are not so wealthy. (i.e. Magic Johnson) They will not be able to buy the vaccine and since the company has a high chance of mass producing the vaccine, it will almost turn out to be a loss for them. The only way to stop that is if they sell it at a very low price for the common people to buy it. And even then, I think it will not be a vaccine that you put and it is gone, since it will also mean that the company is getting rid of the customers on a long-term basis.

On your third paragraph you said that it is not always by the exchange of bodily fluids from intercourse, but it is always by the exchange of bodily fluids, either it be consensual or not (which is sad). It is really really difficult to tell if a person has any STD. There is a difference between them knowing of this and do not want to tell you about it, and them not knowing of this. I still believe that karma has its ways and will find a way to tell them that they were being a dick/cunt.

I agree that it is not an excuse to sacrifice people for that purpose, but we know what happens when everybody is afraid to get STD's. They buy preservatives. If everybody knew there was a cure available, we would be back to having orgies in the middle of the bus stop. The human can be such an asshole that one would have AIDS and not tell the other because he/she thinks they can get the vaccine.

In my opinion, although it is very harsh, it regulates and implements fear on peoples mind when it comes to having intercourse with strangers.

There's a rumor going around that HIV/AIDS is man made for the purpose of population control. If true, then it would explain why there isn't a cure for it.

What if, a human doesn't have immunity at all then we infected the "AIDS" virus to that person, is that person still get infected by the virus and if yes that the person got infected can't we treat the problem as a whole?

Anyone can develop AIDS and a poor or nonexistent immune system can have significantly poorer outcomes.

The humans immunity system (white blood cells are the biggy) is a line of defense for the body when things such as bacteria, pathogens, and viruses try to invade and conquer (or so to speak). If we didn't have this defense system then our bodies would become more susceptible to infections, diseases, and lesser opportunistic infections that are harder to contract (at least with a good immune system.

If you don't have an immune system (this can be heredity, poor genes, improper nutrition at a young age, developmental issues, keeping far too sterile or clean during childhood/a large portion of lifetime) or a low immune system, then you run a higher risk if acquiring more bugs.

With the involvement of AIDS, once your immune system is shot, the virus doesn't stop there. Various portions of your body will die off such as your thymus (in the throat region) that creates lymphocytes (am important protector if the body), your nerves will die off (which can cause neuropathy or nerve death), and dementia is common towards the chronic stage of this syndrome (AIDS affects the brain and causes deterioration and eventually brain death). Basically the body is trying to compensate and restore normal functions but exhausts everything and can't work anymore, thus deterioration

A big reason we need our immune system is our bodies will always have bacteria in them. Normally this bacteria is helpful (as seen in the flora of the gut and in our intestines) while others are mutual or live in peace with us. When there is no immune system to keep everything in check these helpful/mutual bacteria can become harmful to us and begin to rebel. Eventually these bacteria can get the better of us and without control will destroy our body and cause serious damage.



I don’t normally get pissed off, but I think you may have done this with me a little bit H-x. Here is why, you think that those who develop AIDS is some sort of karma (basically meaning that this is just punishment) for any terrible things a person has committed in their lives? Have you ever seen a person with severe HIV or AIDS? Even if the person acquires an STD, this doesn’t mean that this was some divine punishment for them to suffer for their actions and should never been viewed as such. I don’t care how much of a scumbag your are, no one deserves to live with HIV or AIDS.


HIV is transferred through bodily fluids, but when you made your opening remark, you made it sound like you can only get HIV/AIDS only through sexual intercourse. Intercourse and the exchanging of body fluids is the most common way. I mentioned through blood transfusions and needle exchange because these are also other alternatives to acquiring HIV. In fact studies have shown that needle sharing has topped intercourse as the number one way of acquiring HIV (this interchanges with intercourse over time however).

Here is the point I am making. This disease is so terrible to live with, especially if you cannot afford treatment. Even if you can afford it, the person still suffers. Don’t think because you have money or a higher status that you are less likely to acquire HIV. All walks of life have it and even though it is more prevalent in others, you don’t know their life and struggles so for you to judge them with the use of karma is petty on your part. If you have ever seen a loved one with this disease or have ever had a friend who has to live with it then you will get to see firsthand just what they will have to struggle with for the rest of their lives. Even better yet go to a hospital to see what an AIDS patient has to suffer through, believe me you will have a change of heart.

I agree with you that the population will increase in number and sex will become more prevalent, but you know what, so be it. I would rather this happen then see someone suffer, for I would never wish this disease on another human being (even my worst enemy). I use to think like you at one point, so I don’t hate you. My job and some personal experiences I witnessed made me more humble on this illness (and many others).

I will also agree on you with instilling caution into others of being careful or having “safe sex”, but when you add karma into the mix, you just look like an asshole. I want to see you say this to a person who has AIDS. They may agree with you or they will hate your guts. Either way, you don’t have to live with it, they do and that will not change. These people are human beings so treat them as such, your judgment only adds to the stigma already out there.

I read a man was cured of AIDS with some mother cell thingy. Maybe the cure isn't so far away.

Also, some vaccines for HSV are in development, which means that at some point we will be able to prevent the dreaded sores in the new generation and stop the virus that has been throughout several hundred years now.

Without AIDs, not much would change. There are many reasons as to why people don't have children. And sex doesn't always result in conception anyway. The world is already over-populated as we speak. AIDs isn't what's keeping us in check.
