    Virus Developped to Kill HIV Virus

    The treatment is made of a gutted HIV virus. The harmful parts of the virus are removed, and in their place the researchers have inserted a DNA cargo that inhibits HIV's ability to kill immune cells. It latches onto the natural HIV and spreads along with it, even from person to person.

    It cost 200 000$ to develop, Where did all the trillions we put into drugs gone ?

          Sometimes it costs billions to get the right minds thinking about it. Just because they did it with such a little amount doesnt really mean jack.

          Hell I am sure some of their equipment cost more than 200k

                      Here is the OPERATIVE sentence from that publication:
                      "They've tested the theory in a computer model and in cells in a dish." Computer model an petrie dish ain't a human being.
                      God wishing they HAD developed a cure, but they haven't.
                      So ya gotta be careful about posting "found a virus to kill hiv" as it hasn't even been tested on ANIMALS yet.

                            Potato potatoe...developed/discovered/found..all pretty similar.
                            I really have no big problem with it..my biggest problem frankly are the folks that see something like that and think "Oh good! A cure!"
