Danish scientists believe they may have a cure for HIV "within months."
Researchers at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark are testing a new technique that involves flushing the virus from so-called reservoirs in human DNA.
The virus is then destroyed naturally by the body's immune system
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
So HIV is cured and Super Clap takes its place as the most dreaded STI?

Will you be laughing when it's over?
Yes yes, because STDs are the only thing keeping me from having Wilt Chamberlain sex numbers.
Which, coincidentally, is clearly the biggest thing about this announcement.

Optimism is good. Realism is as well. Even the opening sentence uses the words "scientists believe." Not "know" but believe. Different things. There are also unproven variables, cited later in the article. Also, a discovery and mass distribution are wildly different things. Lastly, this Global Post site seems reputable, but do we know that for sure? I realize this kind of skepticism borders on paranoia, but the internet is forcing our hand with this sort of fact and source-checking, and not just with the obvious sites like the Onion and such.

Generally, Digi only comes on here for one of two reasons, either to talk about how awesome and mature he's gotten now that he doesn't come on here anymore, or to complain about someone's OP.
Anyway, the article is parroted on Fox, MD and the Telegraph... it took me three seconds to find that out on google. As for it "being a possibility", not a single person in this thread has stated nor implied that there was definitely a cure on the way, so pointing out that this is all "just possibilities" is basically just being redundant.

Also, since they've cured the AIDS, I'm going to do heroine from dirty needles while having unprotected butt-sex with a male gorilla. Who said freedom isn't free.
I hope it was funny in a "laughing with you, not at you" kind of way.
