What is the main problem for not finding a cure for AIDS?

plzz explain in detail what the problem is plllllzzzz thank you

The HIV/AIDS virus infects our CD4+ cells of the immune system. The virus infects our cells and may be present unknown to us. One of the problems is that this virus has special enzyme activity via reverse transcriptase that allows the viral genetic material to be integrated into the human genome. The virus doesn't have the genetic machinery required to survive on its own, but rather it uses human machinery to reproduce and propagate itself. So basically, the virus infects our cells, taking them over as little viral factories. Current medication such as AZT and other retrovirals, work by decreasing the reverse transcription, protease activity etc. But the virus isn't actually killed, it is merely slowed down.

Aids is caused by a virus that is constantly changing. Makes it hard to control.

The main problem is you will die without a cure.

Having not enough fundings avaiable so to do more research on.

It's not a matter that requires much detail. We haven't found the weakness of AIDS. Without knowing a weakness, we can't create a cure.

they dont know what directly causes it. its a virus, and viruses dont go away once they are in your body. they stay dormant and can awken at any time. a person can have aids for years before it becomes active. it attacks the immune system, so you really dont die from aids, you die from everything else.

There is no problem. This is nature's way of lowering our population. There was the bubonic plague killing 40% of the population, then there was malaria and small pox in the Americas killing up to 80% of people. It all makes sense, when the world becomes too populated, nature concieves something to limit it.

i'm not sure but it ticks me off everytime i see a comertcial for bladder control pill but we still dont have cure for aides or alot of cancers

One of the main problemss w aids is that is at high numbers in African countrys killing children women & men by the thousands every week.

They are still looking for the cure of the common cold.

Our government. FDA, they don't want to find a cure they just want to treat with meds. My mother had cancer I had heard of this fungi that is used in Asia and parts of Europe to treat people with cancer, when I gave it to my mother she got better. her doc. asked her what she was doing she told. her doc. told her not to take that stuff cos it would kill her. so she stopped with in 3 months she had passed on.

So i have come to the conclusion that our doctors and our government and FDA and drug companies all they want is MONEY and that's it.
I'm sure there is a cure its just that the info has been concealed if you look up immune system boosters like ST.Johns wart you will find that it has showned helpful.

hope this helps you out.

The main problem is that this virus is the first retrovirus we have tried to come up with a cure for. A retrovirus is unique to other viruses in that it picks up a piece of the host each time it mutates. It is constantly evolving, constantly learning. The first retrovirus was found by a man named D. Carlton Gajdusek. He won the Nobel Prize in 1975 for this. This is a new type of virus, there is much we still need to learn. Add to this mix the political view that it is a "gay" or "dirty" disease along with lack of funding and voila here we are 20 years in and not a minute wiser.

well it lowers your ammune system and causes you to get other diseases that can harm you

Instead of the government spending the money to find the cure, they are busy spending 384 billion dollars on a war!!

Excellent question indeed ! Nobody has yet found a vaccine or a way to eradicate completely the HIV virus from the body. But there is hope. Antiretrovirals only lower the viral load replication to an acceptable level which is not threatening the CD-4 cell count, thus maintaining the immune system "healthy" against Opportunistic Infections. But their side effects are heavy on the body on the long term.
Alternatively, in China I have found a biodiversity center which has created a tea which is a combination of 12 plants called Revivo. It's no vinegar, but a powerfull immune system booster which is proven to fight viral infections, including the HIV.
I take it myself and I had great results so far, thus delaying the intake of ARVs as long as possible, and hopefully for ever.

So there are indeed medicines that have been found to fight the HIV virus, although none (Modern or Traditional) seems to eradicate such virus completely without the continuous intake of an antiretroviral agent (chemical or natural).

It is also due to the nature of the HIV virus which mutates quickly.
Simply put, resistance means that certain medicines lose their ability to fight HIV. Some drugs become less effective while others can become completely ineffective. As cells reproduce, they make copy after copy of themselves, growing in number with each replication.
Sometimes, small errors in one cell will be passed on to the next copy. After time, cells that contain these small errors become larger in number. These small changes in the cell's genetic make-up are called mutations. It's these mutations that cause resistance to HIV medications.

That's My Best Answer!

The problem is that the virus attacks parts of the bloodstream that NO medication can reach, as HIV effects the whole bloodstream if a cure were found and didn't clearout the whole bloodtream/ virus you would just re-infect yourself.
