There appears to be a ray of hope for pple infected with HIV/AIDS.?

I read an article published by one researcher in the US titled "Taming the virous to its death". Why is the World so quiet about knowing the progress of the work? Or are pple not bothered anymore about how many pple lose their lives to the deadly disease?

The paper was published by one Turner, a virologist. I also read a view by one Professor of virology at the Califonia State University (not very sure, though) in which the Prof. stated thus " this is the first time someone has made sense", refering, of course to the virous. Really, it sought to explore ways by which engineered "red blood cells" could be embedded with traps to tame the virous to its death. I hope people's consciousness would be reawakened by that brilliant solver of the problem that seemed intractable by humanity as a whole.

Thanks for your incredibly rapid and concerned responses. One reassuring fact mentioned in the paper is the fact that nothing can destroy the red blood cell. Again the rate of multiplicity of the virus was a major consideration of the researcher. I was glad to read the obvious concern of the Prof too. But clearly, he (Prof) agreed that the methodology adopted by my friend promised to be more effective and safer than the antiretroviral therapies. I am looking for the details of the paper, but I tell you, the myth surrounding HIV is about to be exposed as futile. Big thanks to cem-Annwn

Because the red blood cells are "engineered", they will naturally vanished into the bone marrows, I believe. But please do not rely on this as I am not the researcher. I think this world and the ppple therein are rather too big for such ailment to cause delay in the match towards the common millenium dev goals. I rest...

Read the World's largest studies on sexual transmission and decide for yourself.....

The 10-year Padian study observed sexually active
couples in which one partner was HIV positive. The result: in 10 years, not one uninfected partner contracted HIV, even though all participants admitted to having sex without condoms. The study states, 'We followed up 175 HIV-discordant couples over time, for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow up. The longest duration of follow-up was 12 visits (6 years).

We observed no seroconversion [infection] after entry into the study."

In the three-year Stewart study (1985) not one male partner of HIV-positive women contracted HIV. Prostitution is not even listed as an HIV risk category by the CDC, because of the extremely low incidence of HIV transmission to clients who have no other risk factors (i.e. drug abuse).

These findings bolster the hypothesis of some AIDS scientists that chronic malnutrition and other environmental factors, and not a sexually-transmitted virus, are the causes of weakened immunity in people diagnosed with one of the nearly 30 AIDS-defining diseases (which vary from country to country).





ORAL SEX

Page-Shafer is a researcher at the Center for AIDS Prevention at the University of California, San Francisco. At the 2004 World AIDS Conference, she presented data from a study of 400 men whose only form of sexual behavior was receiving oral sex. Despite little condom use with multiple partners -- including partners known to be infected with HIV -- none of the men came down with HIV infection.

"We had zero infections over 1,493 person-years of exposure to oral receptive sex," Page-Shafer tells WebMD. "This doesn't mean there aren't factors that contribute to easier HIV transmission by oral sex. It does happen. But data confirm it is a pretty rare occurrence."

Sex And HIV: Behaviour-Change Trial Shows No Link

A UK funded trial aimed at reducing the spread of Aids in Uganda by modifying sexual behaviour appears to have had little discernible effect.


The trial, carried out on around 15,000 people in the Masaka region, involved distributing condoms, treating around 12,000 victims of sexually transmitted diseases and counselling.

However, while the trial led to a marked change in sexual behavioural patterns, with the proportion reporting causal sexual partners falling from around 35 per cent to 15 per cent, there was no noticeable fall in the number of new cases of HIV infection, although there was a significant reduction in sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhoea.

The trial results, which were reported in the British medical journal The Lancet, have already aroused some controversy.

The team leader of the trial, Dr Anatoli Kamalai, acknowledged that there was "no measurable reduction" in HIV incidence with "no hint of even a small effect."
