Scientists say they have found a way to disarm the AIDS virus in research that could lead to a vaccine. Researchers have discovered that if they eliminate a cholesterol membrane surrounding the virus, HIV cannot disrupt communication among disease-fighting cells and the immune system returns to normal.

As a doctor, I would love to receive an effective AIDS vaccine.

How do you think the people who received tainted blood feel?

We may safely assert by your focus and tone that you personally desire for the spouses and children of the promiscuous or drug addicts who are at greatest risk to continue to die as well.
How virtuous of you.

to get less of something tax it!
so do not prohibit BDS, tax it; a same sex marriage tax to pay for the AIDS research BDS spawned, no pun intended.

The people you mention are the VICTIMS of the perverts and dope shooters not I. A totally preventable self-inflicted illness spread by the wicked to the innocent—You should target your hate at these and not those who speak the truth.
The many billions spent so that politically connected affluent homosexuals can enjoy unprotected anal sex without worry could have cured several diseases that kill many more innocent mothers and children than AIDS ever could.
Because the cure for AIDS is a politically correct mission and thus takes precedent over diseases that don't depend on sick and deviant behavior many NORMAL people perish for lack of research money for THEIR maladies.
Homosexual activists have oceans of innocent blood on their hands.

I wonder whether this could have application to autoimmune diseases? Seems to attack the same issue...
To: Daffynition
This is obviously a huge step forward for medical science. Let’s hope that research related to cancer can see the same breakthroughs. And let’s all remember that not all victims of AIDs are people who were sexually promiscuous.

The blood came from the perverts or pushers so they should feel hate for those who indulged in the unsanitary behavior that caused the infections of all.
For everybody who is ill with aids who was not a homosexual or intravenous drug user there are thousands with terminal diseases that could have been cured IF BILLIONS of research dollars were not DIVERTED so that homosexuals could be sick without getting sick.

And the families of the thousands of hemophiliacs who have died slow and painful deaths from HIV? Are they “perverts and pushers”?

And to anyone who has received blood, or anyone who works in health care and is exposed to blood and blood products daily, it sounds pretty good too, I bet.

So is your position that because the homos are the primary carriers of this disease, non homos who have acquired it through no fault of their own should just shut up and die?
As far as “diverting” money I don’t know if that is true or not but lets be honest, there are also other diseases and afflictions that get more attention than others due to political correctness. Breast cancer for example.
