"Anti-AIDS Medicine in Clinical Trial
A new HIV/AIDS medication developed by a Chinese company and aimed at preventing the HIV virus from entering immune cells is undergoing clinical trials.

After four-years of research Dr Zhou Genfa, chairman of the Tianjin-based FusoGen Pharmaceuticals says they have developed a vaccine which functions as an HIV fusion inhibitor.

"Normally, the HIV virus invades the human body by fusing the cell's membrane," said Gao Fu, microbiology research institute chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, speaking at yesterday's forum on new HIV/AIDS medication in Beijing.

"So the key is to safeguard the 'gate' and prevent the occurrence of membrane fusion," he said.

The new medication is able to target HIV membrane fusion protein and prevent the virus from attacking cells. AIDS patients and those who are HIV positive will need to be injected everyday, said Zhou said.

Zhou said he had been inspired by T20, the first drug in a new class of fusion inhibitors developed by a company in the United States which was granted marketing approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in March 2003.

But, he continued, his medication, which has been registered as a new medicine with the State Food and Drug Administration, employs a totally different molecular modelling.

And its price will be "significantly" lower than T20 which can cost US$20,000 per patient per year, he said.

The new medication is likely to hit the market at the end of next year.

Cuba is also highly advanced medically. There have been rumours for years that they have cures to many cancers but cant sell them due to the American imposed trade embargo.

Maybe communism countries do work!

Hell yeah, that's great if it's true. Now on to herpes and genital warts.

Doesn't mention any clinical trials.

Something like this could actually do more harm than good if it worked 100% of the time. It would just be a reason for people to not be safe, or to lie about their HIV status. Then before you know it half the nation needs to be on it.

If Cuba had a cure for cancer, they'd sell it to the world and go from poverty to riches overnight.

this would be great news if it actually does what it says :2 cents:

I think this is the 100th claim for an AIDS drug, I really hope that it works though, I'm SICK of using condoms :(

Shit, I just read about "Cantron", never heard of that stuff before. Wonder if it works.

oh puh-leeeze - as if - the Chinese haven't found a cure for AIDS, if they could cure AIDS don't ya think they'd have cured the slanty eyed thing decades ago?

morons

can anybody say, MONEY MONEY MONEY???

good for them! kickass achievement after 4 years :thumbsup

I'd love to see a cure and/or preventative treatment for HIV and cancer in my lifetime.

Only problem is the drug companies in the US. They do not want to cure people... they want them to suffer as long as possible and depend on their drugs.

I'll put on my lava suit for the inevitable flames to come.

Ya, most drugs in America help you just enough to make you feel better, but leave you sick enough to keep going back for more. It's all about money.

:error :ugone2far :error

exactly.

i wonder how expensive it will cost.. manowar has a good point.

Rhino Horn and powdered scorpion shit I expect

Really?

Although it would benefit some countries, I can only really see negative effects if it was released in a country like Africa. Ok so millions less people die from AIDS, the people and country can't sustain itself at the moment, it wont stand a snow balls chance in hell if they get rid of AIDS.

I know that sounded incredibly harsh, but it's the truth.
Besides if we do manage to get rid of AIDS, another virus will start spreading. :Oh crap

hmm.. if it's true. wonder how much $$$ can make if signup with them and if they had a referral program

think it's make some good $$$$$$$$$

ok.. now on to the bashing by others for thinking of making $$ on the backs of people who dying on aids/got HIV

very true,there are travelers from many countries to Cuba seeking treatment and meds which are supplied to them for free.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The drug companies are all over a drug that keeps you hooked. There is no money in a cure.

Ethics and drug manufacturers have never met one another.

the chinks are busy building a nuke to blow away the whole world.
and they are worried about cureing aids?
WTF!
get a clue!
they can't even feed their own people!
a woman has 2 kids and the government will sterilze her so she don't have any more because they don't have the food for them.

Bingo, we have a winner :2 cents:

Think of how much sicker you could be if you didn't :2 cents:

Hopefully it will be CHEAP enough for sick peoople in the developing world to afford. If not... Brazil's recent decision to BREAK the patent of a certain AIDS drug may become a widespread practice.

They should spend that time on curing cancer, instead of hiv which is PREVENTABLE.

Its a small % of hiv positive people that got the virus involuntarily. I don't feel bad for someone with a disease they could have easily prevented catching.

However cancer is a different story.

Ill give you my freinds ICQ and you can explain that to him.....

His partner of 17 years (and my best friend) died last week of an AIDs related illness.

He, like many others would benefit from this... and I dont think one of them caught it "voluntarily" :2 cents:

That's good to hear. I just flushed all my rubbers down the shitter. I'm off to bareback a crackhead...

Maybe they can't stand a chance because X percentage of people are hospitalized because of it and can't work or be educated.

They give us the cure for aids while killing us with the flu..thank you china!

I remember when AIDS first hit hard and Dennis Miller was saying that if on the day they find the cure for aids and you couldn't get laid just give up.

If they were having unprotected sex and that's the way they caught it then they aren't really "victims" either.

It's sad that people can die from sex, but it's also a reality. I think the point Cherry is trying to make here is that while AIDS is bad, there are far worse things out there killing us that maybe deserve more time and funding because it can hit anyone and everyone regardless of "life choices."

The way you live will have an effect on your health that goes for cancer too. Many cancers are a direct or indirect result of choices.

No one deserves to die.

We can put a man on the moon but we can't destroy disease?

ive got a cure for aids

dont fuck aids carryin bitchs

The key word being "many," in your statement there.

AIDS is a majority of the time a direct result of choices. Sure there are the people who caught it through tainted blood etc, but for the most part it's a choice in lifestyle whether it's sharing infected needles, or unprotected sex.

And no, no one deserves to die. Illness is just that, illness, not a sentence, punishment, reward whatever.

:thumbsup

That's awesome news!!

Do you guys really think that the government is trying to keep unheathly americans sick and bank off their misery? Maybe you're right, who knows.

I think thats what they want. Imagine a large portion of the population needing a drug to survive which they have to pay $10,000 a year.
