Very sad that the professor couldnt find the money to attend the conference. I disgust capitalism and capitalist countries.

I'm not familiar with this research at all, but the word "cure" is used throughout.  What do others think?  Is this something promising?  The research appears to be peer-reviewed and published in a decent journal.  But if the information is correct, why isn't this big news in the HIV-research world?  Or is it and I just missed this development?

Here is the abstract:

Here's a link to the full document, with a quote:

http://www.journalrepository.org/media/journals/BJMMR_12/2016/Nov/Ezeibe18112016BJMMR29018_1.pdf

Quote:

CD4-lymphocytes` populations (cell counts)
decrease in patients as HIV infection progresses.
Also, when CD4 counts are improving, viral loads
decrease [3]. Recovery from HIV/AIDS, already
reported [15-16] resulted from synergy between
antiretroviral effects of the MSAMS and
lymphocytosis (CD4 counts >1500) that occurred
in treated patients. While antiretroviral effects of
the MSAMS may not vary, since same dose is
used, treatment-duration before lymphocytosis
and levels of the immune response may vary
between patients. It is also possible for
treatment-durations before lymphocytosis and/or
its levels to vary between sexes. So, this clinical
trial has been designed to compare: levels of
immune response and durations of treatment
before male and female HIV/AIDS patients
treated with the Antivirt®- immune stimulants
regimen test HIV-negative.

****

Conclusion:

HIV/AIDS patients, treated with Antivirt® and
immune stimulants became HIV-negative and
had their immune responses normalized (CD4
counts ≥ 1500) . Rates of reduction of copies of
HIV- RNA in blood of treated patients depended
on degree of lymphocytosis. It was also observed
that lymphocytes counts improved more rapidly
in males than in females. The more rapid
improvement in lymphocytes counts may be
responsible for the shorter treatment-duration
before recovery, recorded in males than in
females.

Very small sample size (ten)??
Also....how did they turn hiv negative (antibodies)
We all know that antibodies for life(scientific fact)
When virus C patients cured,they still tested positive for antibodies...they have only sustained virological response (SVR) after stopping antiviral therapy which measured at 12,24 and 48 weeks i think after cessation of treatment (undetectable Viral load)

Yes.  Though the technology (nano medicine) sounds promising, the specifics don't ring true.  There are too many good questions, like the ones you raise.  It seems premature that this study was published.

Guys.

There is no cure. Antivirt is not a new claim and its not the first "fake" cure reporting.

The claim that his treatment has cured HIV/AIDS is completely unfounded, he is a danger to us all and his claims can not be independently verified because it simply does not work.

I disgust capitalism and capitalist countries.

Well without it we would have no treatment at all, I am more disgusted with misguided and often profit seeking people who post fake cures claims or newspapers that print them to make money

@Matland
If you are going to believe trash like this each time you are going to be very disappointed. I mean that your setting yourself up for heartache each time.
