I heard there was a cure for AIDS???

I heard the cure only cured Africian Americans so they will not make it available because it does not cure everyone. I also heard that Magic Johnson was cured with it. has anyone else heard this????

AIDS is the disease caused by the virus HIV. A person is considered to have AIDS when their immune system because very impaired due to the virus and their T cell count drops below a certain level. With such a weakened immune system the person cannot fight off simple infections or keep down the levels of usually benign bacteria that inhabits their body. Because of this, the person usually falls very ill. People with HIV are also prone to particular types of skin cancer and other forms of cancer and most people HIV positive people usually end up dying from complications arising from HIV and not the damage from the virus itself. However, if this does not happen the virus will eventually kill the person in time.

Some people can keep the levels of the virus down and their T cells count up by taking a combination of medications many times a day. This can bring someone with AIDS back to fairly good health for a number of years but the person is still HIV positive even if the levels of the virus have dropped so low that they can't be detected.

A few individuals with HIV, such as the actor JM.J Bullock, have been HIV positive for over a decade and have yet to suffer any major symptoms though they have not been on any medication. Scientists aren't sure exactly why the virus acts differently in different people and why some succumb within a few years of being infected while others have been infected going on 20 years now and still haven't fallen ill from it.

There is no cure for HIV though.

No i doubt it is true. Afraican American's are just like everyone else on the inside and out, so if it worked for them then it would work for everyone else (if it was true).

There is currently no cure for AIDS. Magic Johnson only has the HIV virus and not AIDS.

I do not believe it.

There has been no cure found for AIDS and they may never find one because of the HIV virus's ability to mutate into other forms.

No, no cure yet.
MJ still is HIV+
Research continues as $$$ is still needed.

I dault there will ever be a cure for AIDS there is great meds for HIV yes different things. some people have actually been cured of HIV but it is not gender related.

there is no cure for aids there no shots the only thing there is for aids is AZT I think it is if I know my information and other drugs. I also have heard that depakote has worked on aids but other than that I don't know munch information. What you have is ask your doctor there is always a new a drug to prolong life. there will someday be a cure we just pray. there is a reseach. Magic Johnson was never cured but you can be controled like anyone else. I will pray that you will get your treatment.

yep there is and its called CONDOMS!

i have had it for 13 years if there is a cure i am sure the doc would have already told me about it

As a person that has HIV i am always on the look out for the latest in =New england Journal of med.American Medical Asc. and many other Top research institutes,and there is NO cure as of yet,NONe for A.Americans,None for anyone,including Magic,his dr. is Dr Ho,the worlds leading reasearcher on HIV,so,while Magic's Viral Load is Non detectable ,he is still hiv+,they should have a cure in about 20 yrs ,vaccine3-8 yrs,peace all,and where a condom eh folks!!~

thats not true

sadley to say. no. there isnt. ?

never and why would it only cure african americans. last i knew our bodies and blood consisted of the same chemicals and systems no matter what our color

Unfortunately,no there is no cure at this time. Magic Johnson is still infected however,like many people including myself He is Undetectable. which simply means his viral load is below 50 copies and V.L. tests can NOT detect a V.L. of below 50. There is some promising work being done on a vaccine so let's keep hoping P.S. December 1st is WORLD AIDS DAY So PLEASE let's Pray That this panademic will end someday GOD BLESS YOU,Cholito
