H.I.V. cure months away, Danish scientists say.

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

Another interesting post by the London Telegraph.

"Scientists on brink of HIV cure"

Researchers believe that there will be a breakthrough in finding a cure for HIV “within months”.

What do you guys think?

Science **** yeah

Once they take care of the Herp as well carefree sex here I come!

So HIV is cured and Super Clap takes its place as the most dreaded STI?

Time travel might be a better cure. We'll go back to the 80s when everyone was coked up and no one caught anything.

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.

/smh

...

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.

No one saw Demolition Man? Everytime on was cured another one just popped up until they abolished sex all together.

Nah. He just suffers from mild form of paranoid personality disorder. So, he's a border line schizoid, practically.

What Digi said is actually pretty reasonable. Optimism is awesome.

Facts are also awesome.

/epic facepalm

being correct =\= not being condescending.

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.

thats not really a diagnosis for paranoid personality disorder though 😛

Was replying to that Styletime lunatic. uhuh

god, there is a quote button for a reason 🙄

This was a funny post. 👆

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.
