HIV vaccine and cure nearby???
i have been reading a lot about HIV recently( although i am HIV negative but was suffering from a lot of hiv anxiety)
there have been many reports of a possible breakthrough but there are always too many 'ifs' and 'buts' (like the guy who had a bone marrow transplant and was cured of hiv!!!)
what would be a wild guess of a sure shot cure or vaccine??? 3-5 years????
ONE MORE QUESTION-
i have been told that HIV does not transmit once out of the host as it becomes inactive??? i do agree on this as it is a very fragile virus. but then why does it transmit so easily during blood transmission?????? what is the difference?? should it not die as there are no new cells to infect????

Guess? Don't believe in anything unless an HIV cure really has been discovered and medically proven by a recognised health body.
