If you have enough money, there must be successful treatments for hiv. Look at Magic Johnson.

Butt sex disease = must be cured
Cancer = too big a business to find a cure

Priorities, priorities.

It may not be the ‘cure,’ but it sure is a slick piece of science at work. Very clever procedure involves removing T-cells from the patient, then ex-vivo they take off the ‘kick me first’ tag put on T cells by retrovirus, and send them back to the front.

"The approach entails temporarily stopping a patient's antiretroviral therapy and removing T cells carrying the CD4 receptor. This surface protein is the doorway by which the virus gains entry into the cell. The collected T cells are exposed to zinc finger nuclease, an enzyme designed to remove the gene for a coreceptor of CD4 called CCR5. The cells are then reinfused into the patient."

Sounds a little risky. Didn't a recent movie tout a famous cure before the side effects were known?

The aids infected are homosexuals,intravenous drug users and their victims
Everyone who has aids got it from a junkie or a homosexual or from another victim of a junkie or homosexual.

Homosexuals are the new protected class of the Left so the cure for their fully preventable disease got tons of money—money that could have gone to illnesses that are not the result of unsanitary depravity.

All the billions thrown at aids—several real diseases could have been cured with that kind of money.As far as I am concerned,homosexual activists have oceans of blood on their hands.
