Just a thought from someone who knows nothing of this. Is there the possibility to use a similar drug that currently kills HIV when active but somehow fool the drug into attacking the latent virus or cells carrying the virus as though it were active? Or does the latency mean it can’t be found in the body till it shows it’s self? In your idea of activating the virus, if you fail to kill all the virus in a timely manner, does the patient move to AIDS faster than they otherwise would have? It’s so great to hear a person so positive about the fight. It seems this has gone to the back burner in peoples minds, at least here in the U.S. Everyone seems content with this damn virus annihilating people at will. I want shock and awe damn it! Keep fighting

awesome explanation…its very basic and now I understand about HIV virus little bit clearly and it takes more time to fix this.

Thx Lucy.

I’m tired of reading posts and articles saying HIV is most likely going to remain uncurable. There are so many things humans have been able to do once they’ve had a really great need or incentive. I can hardly believe that there isn’t a solution to this problem that we can find, even if it continues to take some time. I’m so happy to see someone in your field who is showing some intelligent determination on the subject. Thank you.

I’m barely going to be a freshman at highschool but im already studying chemistry at home. Hopefully i can work with someone as aware of this disease as you, and finally get rid of this damn pest

First of all, thanks Lucy. I was about to give a seminar on HIV the next day when I saw this article.

Bai. Good luck for your research.

The AIDS epidemic is spreading its arms as time passes by; many don’t even know they are infected while many have already fallen prey to it. As of today, about 0.5% of the total population (around 40 million) is infected with HIV/AIDS. Since 2003, a company by the name of CytoDyn has devoted its time and effort to find a cure for this deadly disease. Recently, they have started working in collaboration with the Massachusetts General Hospital on their immune-based therapy for AIDS, a drug called Cytolin. You can view the current press release about this development at the link below:

Lucy,
we can kill or destroy large animals, visible enough, by physically. But very tiny organisms like virus or bacteria, we can’t kill by physically. We have to shout for help to those like scientists, or biochemists to kill that tiny creatures. One thing that is interesting is “bacteria have the ability to resist virus”.
