HIV cure found? - GoFuckYourself.com

Doctors who carried out a stem cell transplant on an HIV-infected man with leukaemia in 2007 say they now believe the man to have been cured of HIV infection as a result of the treatment, which introduced stem cells which happened to be resistant to HIV infection.

The man received bone marrow from a donor who had natural resistance to HIV infection; this was due to a genetic profile which led to the CCR5 co-receptor being absent from his cells. The most common variety of HIV uses CCR5 as its ?docking station?, attaching to it in order to enter and infect CD4 cells, and people with this mutation are almost completely protected against infection.

The case was first reported at the 2008 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston, and Berlin doctors subsequently published a detailed case history in the New England Journal of Medicine in February 2009.

They have now published a follow-up report in the journal Blood, arguing that based on the results of extensive tests, ?It is reasonable to conclude that cure of HIV infection has been achieved in this patient.?

Science has done it again, let's hope this can be reproduced.

Stem cell research isn't banned. Federal funding of it is.

There's no long term profit in a cure.

wehateporn · 12-14-2010, 01:22 PM

It would be useful if they would stop putting it in vaccines too, notice how those most likely to be HIV postive live around the vaccination stations. I remember Kissinger saying that third world countries would need to be depopulated as the West will need their resources

Open up the field of Stem Cell research already for fuck sakes. Start spending a small portion of that money that is being spent on a bullshit war against a virtually nonexistant enemy, and we'll be mindblown by what we discover. The small amount of stem cell related research that's been done has shown promise in curing blindness, brain damage, spinal cord injury, infertility, diabetes, cancer varieties, and more. Yet because of Christian religious fuckwads and probably the lobbying of the big pharma industry, we're denied the possibilities. Open up the funding!
