Thread: At last HIV Vaccine and no fear of death if you have it.

    At last HIV Vaccine and no fear of death if you have it.

    New HIV vaccine could turn deadly condition into 'minor infection like herpes'!

    After many decades at last scientist have found a vaccine to make sure you donтАЩt get HIV and makes those who have already got it, have no more fear of dying as you would if you caught incurable herpes is on the horizon.

    Many people who was worried about all the money that was being thrown at scientific groups to search for ways to cure HIV was being abused, because with the chance of acquiring so many millions they did not want it to end, so they never found a cure. But now a scientific group in Spain has started to test a new vaccine to break the trend of look but donтАЩt find, even though the person who dose find the answer of curing HIV will be in for billions in revenue, but so much of it gets put back in experimentations.

    The virus claimed the lives of a host of stars including Freddie Mercury, pictured, and Kenny Everett, Rock Hudson.

    Did you know if Freddy Mercury had lived another year, he would still be alive now as the new cocktail of drugs they had in the early 1990s were just about to come on line, after a trial as has to happen with all new drugs.

    A new HIV vaccine could turn the once deadly condition which has killed millions of people into a 'minor chronic infection' like herpes, say scientists.
    The first human tests found nine-in-ten volunteers developed an immune response against the virus, with 85 per cent maintaining immunity for at least a year.
    If bigger clinical trials are as successful the virus that claimed the lives of a host of stars including Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett would no longer cause a disease and be much less contagious.

    The success of the vaccine, known as MVA-B, is based on the ability of the human immune system to learn how to react over time against virus particles and infected cells.
    Professor Mariano Esteban, of the Spanish Superior Scientific Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, said: 'MVA-B vaccine has proven to be as powerful as any other vaccine currentlybeing studied, or even more.
    '
    It had already been successful in experiments on mice and monkeys and is based on a vaccine used to treat smallpox, with the addition of four HIV genes that are not able to self-replicate, guaranteeing safety.

    The other day I saw on the DrudgeReport that HIV will soon be looked at as a minor infection. They are making many advances.
    These are the good'ol days

    along with this post and mothers i would think all doctors would still recomend covering up.. this is probably not the first time something has been discovered that could be false!!
    also unless you like extremly large needles up your butt as well as other large things .. h.i.v. is not the only thing you can catch.
    i think reports like this are as good as they are bad in the fact they could give some people/slags a reason to go barebacking all over the place

    No one is suggesting that anyone should have unprotected sex. This post is about the advances made on the HIV virus.

    Whilst I lost a few friends in the late 80's and early 90's to AIDS, and had to watch their slow deterioration, sallow cheeks and frail bodies at the end I also have another friend who was diagnosed with AIDS late 90's and he is still incredibly fit and well some 17 years later, still working and travelling the world. So the current 'cocktail of drugs' work to keep you alive though at the expense of many body parts which have become permanently dead. But then he is under the supervision of Dr. Prof. David Cooper the Sydney St. Vincents Immunologist considered to be a world leader in that field.

    bucknaway's point is worth repeating, and although space doesn't permit here it's worth repeating a million times: unprotected sex is not safe sex.

    Please continue to pass the message along to anyone you feel may think otherwise: there are incurable diseases associated with barebacking, and the only protection is protection - used by anyone (or everyone) involved.

    There is no evidence that this vaccine has any therapeutic effect in the already-infected.

    It is also worth noting that trials still have a very long way to go before something such as this is made available, if it ever is. On a good note it is well known that the advances with HIV medications and knowledge about the various forms of the HIV strain are fantastic considering where the world was a decade or so ago.

    Bao-bao and bucknaway's point is well worth repeating a thousand times over "unprotected sex is not safe sex".

    This is great! The most promising news for years.

    But even if a vaccine and cure are found, it won't change much. HIV's just one of MANY deadly blood-bourne STDs you can get. There's still Hep B and others.

    I'll add to what Bucknaway, Bao Bao and Combat have said... Anyone who has unprotected anal sex with a casual hook up in Thailand or anywhere else is a moron.

    It's worth clicking on the link to read the article in its original form: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic ... erpes.html

    Unfortunately, what LMTU/Mothersruin presents as being drawn from article is almost dangerously inaccurate and misleading.

    No, what the article states is the new vaccine can't remove the virus from the body once there. So even if successful, it'll be no use to someone who has "already got it" in its current form.

    Quoted from the article:
    "MVA-B is not capable of removing HIV from the body but meets the requirements for a 'promising HIV vaccine...'"

    "Injecting the vaccine into a healthy person is intended to train the immune system to detect and learn how to combat the virus. Prof Esteban said: 'It is like showing a picture of the HIV so that it is able to recognise it if it sees it again in the future.'"
