Odd- I was thinking today about how we haven't done much vs viruses. Going to be hard on your body to take this med.
"However, it would appear that once the HIV RNA has been reverse-transcribed to cDNA and integrated into the genome, then the approach presented in this paper would not work--i.e. if you have AIDS, this won't help you."
From what I read (but readily admit do not understand) this medicine would appear to work on HIV theoretically, but not on AIDS. EDIT: Yeah that, ^^^, whatever it is that Rizzy posted.
What if the virus has infected too many of your cells and then the thing kills all of your cells then do you DIE?
new age penicillin perhaps eventually we'll all just die from raging super viruses that's immune to everything, that or nuclear war, or an apocalypse isn't there some thing about pharmaceutical companies buying up all the cures and storing the secrets somewhere away from the public... so they can keep people on 'treatment'...
This is really exciting. I'm waiting for the cancer killer. Then we'll have to start worrying about running out of water and other resources instead. This would be similar to that Starz show - Torchwood: Miracle day, in which everyone on Earth stops dying.
It seems once in a while there will always be articles that talk about some supposed "breakthrough" that could change the landscape but never materializes, hope this isn't one of them.
and that reminds me of this trailer I just watched: <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fdadZ_KrZVw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
While they are at it, we need a cure for internet viruses, too, and trolls like OHMSS. You ban them and they just come back in a different form and stronger.
