Rutgers Scientists Take Big Step Towards Stopping HIV Maybe it's too early to say, but this still looks pretty promising.

  • We may eventually win the war against HIV/AIDS. That would be an extremely rewarding and satisfying outcome To say the very least. Still, I'm cautious: I've seen articles like this before.
  • Yes. It would appear someone has the gift of understatement, if true.
  • Does this mean God is done hating fags now ?
  • HIV is tricky. I'll reserve judgement post-phase 3 trials.
  • Rutgers Scientists Take Big Step Towards Stopping HIV: 'We will stop banging one another and using intravenous drugs. Sod the rest of you.'
  • It would be funny if the cure for HIV is found in what is said to be the dirtiest place in the planet, with the dumbest people. I love being a Jersian.
  • hey Warrior, as a former Jersian AND an alumna of Rutgers, I am proud...and clean...and smart ;)
  • Count me in with Medusa. I'm a proud Jersey Girl who graduated from R.U. (Class of '93) and I'm also clean and smart. (Though I would spell it Jerseyan.)
  • We will stop banging one another and using intravenous drugs.
    That's not enough. You should also stop sweating and crying.
  • If I was a scientist at Rutgers, I'd probably never stop sweating and crying.
  • Didn't we just learn the New Jersey has the best, purest heroin in the nation? And don't heroin users typically use IV needles? And aren't those IV needles one of the most common ways to contract HIV? And now the cure for HIV is coming out of New Jersey? Hmmmmm....Let the dot-connecting begin.
  • As stepself noted, this sort of report has appeared many times before. I wonder how much of it is done in attempts to secure funding in universities. I also wonder what multinational pharmaceutical companies might do if they are confronted with a cure for a very profitable (for their CEOs) infection.
  • Either way, good luck to them.
