Um, stop screwing other men in the butt without a condom? Yeah, all sane people have known that for a while now.

PS There are people (for example blood recipients and wives who do not know they are “beards”) who suffer from AIDS and did not engaged in that behavior. However, nearly 100% of their infections can be traced to someone who has. Those innocent people are victims of political correctness run wild. I have all the sympathy in the world for them.

So it's not a cure. It's just another preventative measure.
What a liberal piece of schlock writing. It's not a cure for HIV and it's only a preventative or "vaccine" for (not against) AIDs.
Homosexuals would still be free to pass HIV on to more and more homo's as well as straight victims.
Since they're not actually "curing" anything, and if they can't fix/cure HIV then eventually it would just mutate and there would be a new AIDs super strain that they couldn't control anyway.

While the virus would still exist in a person's system, it would be unable to develop into AIDS and individuals could maintain a healthy immune system. The therapy would mean that HIV would never deteriorate into AIDS, spelling an end to onerous drug regimes.

This tiny little article leaves me with a few questions.

It seems that they are curing AIDS but not HIV; so is the patient still able to transmit HIV?

The article says that the patient is given therapy; so does the patient need therapy for the rest of his life or only for a short time. (I don’t think of therapy as resulting in a lasting cure. Maybe I am wrong)

Pharmaceutical companies will never ever find the cure for things, only the treatments, if they found cures, their whole profit margin goes down.

Australian Researchers Believe They Have Found Cure for AIDS

While the virus would still exist in a person’s system, it would be unable to develop into AIDS and individuals could maintain a healthy immune system.

Even if it works there is one small problem: The animals out there are still living the “lifestyle” that gave the virus it’s power. With their help the virus will develop around the system put in place to stop it. That is, pretty much, what viruses do 27/365.

Castrate Homosexuals?

If they can only find a way to make the HIV virus itself turn gay-—that being the cells would only try and pair with similar cells but cannot reproduce. I’m being facetious (’. Cells divide and reproduce by meiosis and not by gender. Such a thing as same sex meiosis without any baby cells? Its the theatre of the absurd mind at work on this thread.

Excuse my skepticism but when was the last time modern expensive medicine ever found a cure for disease outside of antibiotics being effective toward some organisms.

We've been fighting cancer for years with very little progress but be sure to continue to send money. It's the same for most other diseases.

“individuals could maintain a healthy immune system”

People are susceptible to AIDS in the first place because they're immune compromised. Non HIV infected homosexuals get many diseases and have a high hospital admittance rate, so maintaining a healthy immune system is a relative term.

If only I could have a dime every time it is in a news again (for 20+ years and counting).

Animal trials of the protein are due to begin this year.

They're making a big claim for something that hasn't started animal trials yet. Good luck to them anyway.
