The scientists found that the virus that causes Aids took hold in intestinal tissue of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ARV). It knows exactly the nature of its host, and where it might hide and still find new people to transmit to.

This will be good news to the "bug chasers" (I think that's the term I saw used) who seek out the virus so that they,too,can become a member of the "fraternity".
To: Rodney King
Proof positive that AIDs was designed by rich industrialists in order to eliminate the prolitariate...

Answer seems obvious to me. Give the drugs by suppositories. Should be no problem with this group.

It knows exactly the nature of its host, and where it might hide and still find new people to transmit to? the pathalogical facts.
Go against the biological, physiological make up of an organism and devastation sets in in an attempt to destroy or abort the unnatural, compromised entity?

BINGO!
along with some good colonics?
This might, at least, help spare the innocents who contract the disease - like thru' blood transfusions - and wont be subject to continued reinfection through their own death-style

"HIV hides itself ..."
How silly, assigning agency to a virus. What they mean is that the drugs don't kill or suppress the pathogens found in the intestines.

Uh, do I want to know how it got THERE? Not before breakfast.
Well, not AFTER you eat, either.
Well, = ahmmm, No, I guess you don't want to know

In addition - even introducing drugs directly to the 'trouble spot' - reinfection would likely be a constant, making treatment costly and ongoing - outgoing, as the tax payers money paying to support an abhorrent and destructive practice

There's over 20 feet of intestine in a typical human. I don't think suppositories are going to be a great delivery system.

Is HIV actually killing people anymore? I don't seem to hear much wailing from the left about this disease anymore.
To: DBeers
I think this is listable.

You mean by suggesting that's where the virus entered the body?
