I also hav d same type of opinion like u. M a medical student. Smetimes i think that i can find permanent cure 4 AIDS. Its possible only if i knw A-Z of pathogenesis, virulence, treatment of AIDS as per new researches..... I feel i cud! bt....... There r millions of big scientists working on this dreadful disease 4 finding its cure... What m i? Prevention is better than cure. Even Maintainance is better than repair. Treatment: There r many drugs which deactivate reverse transcriptase enzyme responsible 4 multiplication of virus. ZIDOVUDINE, LAMIVUDINE, STAVUDINE r sme of d drugs.. To eradicate dis disease we shud introduce 1 chapter in may b in 10th standard in schools. That chapter shud contain prevention of AIDS n all types of precautions regarding it. We shud introduce sme more chapters like course of vaccinations in a child etc which r general health topics, whch every1 of us shud know.... I feel 4 us education is more important than finding a cure 4 it, which already is being done by Scientists....... Distribution of groups causing AIDS: 1. Homosexual or bisexual men: 50% 2. Intravenous drug abusers: 25% 3. Hemophiliacs: ~ 0.5% 4. Recipients of blood and blood components: ~ 1% 5. Hetrosexual contacts: ~ 10% 6. In approx. 6% of cases, the risk factors cannot be determined. HIV had infected 60 million people worldwide n nearly 20 million adults n children hav died of d disease... T.H A N K Y O U !!!...........
