it wasn't until this thread that I finally realized you mean "cure" by your use of just a "c". ::) :D

yes a cure is (probably) coming one day. There is plenty of research going on (just peruse some of the other threads in this forum ;) ), and one day something should pan out. but does this little article talking about removing the cholesterol from the membrane of HIV (wonder how they'll pull that one off on a mass scale in the body??) mean a cure is almost here? no way. However, this is just another path that might lead to a vaccine and/or cure. (I use "and/or" because this article talks about a vaccine, and a vaccine is not always a cure.)

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
