[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was there never a big announcement that HIV has been essentially cured? With the amount of attention it got in the 80's - mid 90's you would think that these new drugs would be major news. I remember around the mid 2000's wondering what happened to AIDS. I hadn't really heard about it for a few years, and it used to be all you'd ever hear about. [/quote] Because it hasn't been cured? We've just figured out how to control the virus to a point with expensive meds with lots of side effects. I know a young adult who was HIV exposed in utero, and "converted" (meaning he does not have the virus, not exactly the same as cured, because the early meds prevent the virus from developing in the infant so he technically never had it). He was on HIV meds for 3 months, and still as an adult has medical problems linked to side effects during those 3 months. The meds the control HIV have a long way to go. [/quote]
