This article seems to be interesting...i am sure there will be a definite remedy within the next 10 years..and as it is hiv is not aids..we can live for many years with hiv..provided we have a good diet and good follow up...some people dont event need medicine...but we dont need to worry..cause we will test negative...keep the faith..god is and will be with us always...i cant wait for that day where i will wake up from this nightmare...but frankly sometimes i am bit scared..but we should still have the faith..unless we get our results we cant say anything..take care my friend...

About the devil part you're kind of right... cause before I did what I did.. I was like, ****... those trannies probably have aids, if i go there i'll end up with aids too... probably i should use a condom... and then i said to myself, oral sex is not risky and ****... i have to have an open cut in my penis and the guy and open cut.. but guess what... i never expected one of them to bite me.. the thing that freaked me out the most was the open wound and the blood... blood to blood = hiv...

yeah, my shoulder iskind of hurting.. i had an abcess in my left shoulder.... andmy muscles keep tingling...

I'll keep praying for you too...

Hamburg - German scientists have succeeded in snipping the virus that causes AIDS out of human cells, leaving them healthy again, they disclosed Thursday in a scientific-journal article. The laboratory procedure, using an enzyme, offers hope of a cure for AIDS, said Joachim Hauber of the Heinrich Pette Institute for Experimental Virology and Immunology in the city of Hamburg.

"We have rid the cells of the virus. No one else has done this before. It's a breakthrough in bio-technology," he said.

Current therapies can only limit the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and not remove it from the body.

The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in the city of Dresden was the partner in the research, reported in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

HIV is a retrovirus that nests in the DNA or key genetic material of infected cells.

Hauber said it was his "cautious" hope that a cure for AIDS could be found within 10 years. Three years of experiments on mice were planned next, to be followed by tests on humans in Hamburg.

The method uses the ability of so-called recombinase enzymes to cut strands of DNA at certain places like a pair of scissors and recombine the strands. The new enzyme, Tre, always recognizes the right spot to snip the DNA where the HIV starts.

It recognizes a characteristic HIV sequence that scarcely ever mutates, the scientists said. Tre was adapted from an existing natural enzyme, Cre, which recognizes similar genetic sequences.

The laboratories artificially evolved Cre into Tre through more than 120 recombinase generations, the scientists said.

Hauber said the cell then flushed out the snipped-away DNA as waste. "After that it is healthy," he said.

Any therapy would require stem cells to be obtained from a patient's blood, treated in the laboratory and re-injected to regenerate a healthy immune system, he forecast. "It's high-tech medicine. You couldn't just take a pill," he explained.
