Then there's still other diseases that don't necessarily have a cure yet. 
*hydrapheetz wonders when the cure for diabetes will be found. ____________________ 14:51:48 <@hydrapheetz> @catgirl weight=2 bust=1 14:51:48 <+urxvt> hydrapheetz's catgirl: A 6'3", brown-haired very fat catgirl with short hair who weighs 452 lbs and has C-cup breasts. |

| Despite the fact that there are still a lot of other diseases out there and whatnot.. I think this is wonderful. I can't really think of much else to say about that. I'm just bubbling over with .. 'that's fantastic'.. ness. heh. It's a great step. *nod*

| And the ultra-conservative people out there will bash that these researchers are only promoting promiscuity.
For the record, if we can cure this, we efforts can be focus in other efforts. |

| I heard about this a few years ago. Use one drug, the virus mutates to become immune to it. Use a second drug, it mutates again. Use a third drug, and any further mutations will kill it.
Though if I'm not mistaken, isn't HIV remarkably easy to avoid? |

| ...Yes, you do bring up a point there, ntn. How annoying. Regardless, we've at least made a great degree of progress with this.
And, Guy, to answer your question. Well, I have no idea, considering I have next-to-no degree of medical knowledge. So, maybe. :/ ____________________ Glyph: (Actually, you know, I was going for the obvious but I'll give you triple word score if you manage to make the corrupted scum of the badlands panic and create general chaos because you shouted the word "Juuuudge!") |

| Cue conspiracy theorists claiming that the scientists only advocate this because it depends on continued treatment (and thus leads to more money flowing in).
Still, awesome news. I wonder if it's possible to treat it to the point where it won't transmit to others? Not terribly likely, I know, but... optimism. |

But...how do you know that the people you interact with are not infected with the virus? Aren't most infections caused via transmissions by people not knowing they have it? |

Originally posted by Joe Despite the fact that it sounds just plain silly, it actually looks like they might have something there.  Well, it's just great to know that we're actually making some sort of progress on it, rather than what I was lead to believe was complete stagnation. |

| Until you get raped by someone with it, or try to have a child with someone with it...
Or get it by breastfeeding, or are born with it because your mother had it. EDIT: Or your condom breaks, or by god knows what coincidence you wind up mixing blood with someone else. |
