He added that the medicine will not kill the HIV virus but will effectively block its spread in the body.
The media seems to like to call any new hiv drug a "cure". Didn't they also do it when the PIs first came out? I don't think this tendency is limited to the Iranian press. They all do it.
This "new drug" is also mentioned in one of the selenium threads, because selenium seems to be the active ingredient. This means the media is doubly wrong in how they are reporting this. Selenium is NOT an herb, it's a mineral. ::)

Irna is basically the Iranian equivalent of what Pravda was during the Soviet era. Now remind me again why I should swallow this article as anything more than domestic consumption propaganda to make the government look like it's actually doing something?
Even countries like n. korea, russia, china & even iran have some of the best researchers (not just the west). personally, i try not involve politics in my judgement. this is why some western governments are able to lie and manipulate their citizens because people are ever so willing to believe whatever they say because they are supposed to be "best" in everything - even scientific research!
IMOD is the fifth generation of medicines against AIDS in the world. The first generation of medicines prevents the spread of the virus and the second prevents infection with the virus. The third generation prevents the spread of the AIDS virus in a patient while the fourth boosts the body's immunity.
Folks,
read the article carefully. they are not claiming this is a cure for hiv. they say this can cure aids! they even tell you the medication does not kill the hiv virus. there is no exageration here. some of us dont seem to understand the difference between aids and hiv. they are talking about curing symptons eg painful joints, rush, nasty coughs, diarrhoea - which result from having a weak immune system. ie your immune system gets strengthened enough so you do not develop aids symptoms but you still have the virus.

You guys dont really believe this crap, do you? We have been hearing stuff like this for twenty years from people with more credibility than Iran and it is never true.
Untill your Dr. writes you a script for it, do not believe it.
If you take the drugs available today you will probably live a normal lifespan, you'll just spend more time on the toilet.
Lets take a look at some Iranian medical history. Oh,wait a minute,there isn't any. Nothing wrong with having hope and I have hope that someday there will a cure, but you can bet your last dollar it wont be Iran. These guys are just fucking with us like they do on everything. They would be rolling around laughing if they thought anyone really believed this crap. They are probably having a laugh riot just cause some one was stupid enough to print it. Sort of funny, but didn't North Korea make a claim they had a cure too?
They have a great cure for homosexuality there, too.
I it's a "don't bomb us, we can save humanity" deal.
:D
My first boyfriend was Iranian - trust me, they're backwards and byzantine at the same time. ........................l - it's a "don't bomb us, we can save humanity" deal.
denniss, if what you said were true, then why did Cuba have specialists come other countries to do his surgery?
