Human Test: Novel Vaccine Stops HIV
http://my.webmd.com/content/article/97/104268.htm?z=1727_00000_5024_hv_03
| Quote: | | It worked in mice. It worked in monkeys. And now in humans, a therapeutic vaccine has stopped HIV in its tracks. |
| Quote: | | After getting three under-the-skin injections of the tailor-made vaccine, the amount of HIV in the patients' blood (called the viral load) dropped by 80%. After a year, eight of the 18 patients still had a 90% drop in HIV levels. All patients' T-cell counts stopped dropping. |
And my favorite part:
| Quote: | | Similar approaches are being explored for the treatment of cancer and long-term viral infections such as hepatitis C. |
However, even if this leads to the cure for cancer, i'd worry that we'd end up with a hybred aids or hybred cancer virus that becomes immune. However, I watch too many sci-fi movies. |

| Hmmmm... the first effective anti-viral drugs! It won't help for cancer (which isn't a parasite disease but actually a mutation) but it could be used to cure the common cold... and ear infections that aren't caused by bacteria. (Antibiotics taking care of the ones that are) |

haha, crabs... that reminds me of the ATHF episode where Frylock makes that shrink/grow-ray thing...
Carl: Oh, those things? Don't worry about them, they won't hurt you. Just spray them with this shampoo if they come near.

| I can cure HIV as well with a flick of my magical fingers! I remember a long time ago in elementary school that I had like a big red mark on my head from laying in the grass. Everybody said that I had HIV. I told them what HIV was, they didn't listen, so I ran away and hid in the woods. |
