Does anybody know if the us government is becoming succesful in a cure for hiv and if it will be available in the next 5-10 yrs?
helpmymind, I have to concur with meworried. A vaccine will likely be developed before any cure is ever, if ever found. All the major research companies are working to try to find a cure. The benefits to a company that finds the cure will be more beneficial to that company than all the money they could ever make off the development of medications.
My surfing of web to find the answer to the same question reveals that current and anticipated treatment is far from perfection and scientists are not hopeful to discover a perfect cure and launch it commercially, within a decade... not possible from the results of the research, where we are today.
You may refer to a recent issue of Newsweek,, ( I read that in Hong Kong, early this month). And until then, prevention is the only cure.

helpmymind. You need to quit creating new threads. Just ask a new question in the original thread.
