How close are they to finding a cure for HIV/AIDS?
So i recently tested positive for HIV. i didn't know until a girl i was with for a few months called me and told me she was positive, and i got tested. I know there's no cure yet, but I know i don't have unlimited time. Do you think they'll have a cure in the next 5 years? 10 years? If not, at least better treatment? im a 19 year old college student so I think you can understand the kind of predicament i'm in. also i'm worried how this will affect my future when it comes to getting jobs and stuff. i plan on getting an education and starting a career but i've heard they wont hire people who are HIV positive.

Try looking into some alternative methods, the meds just suppress the issue and don't really deal with the problem.. Oxygen therapy has worked well over seas, I don't want to put a claim out there, but people do Oxygen therapy and there is a good chance you wont need to deal with it any more. You probably haven't heard about this in the states, as the government wants you to purchase there drugs. it is a process, and allot of work, but there have been some eye opening results! how do you think Magic Johnson has lived so long, he gets treated out side of the US, where they actually heal people!

I'm so sorry to hear about those results. So far there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. How ever there is hope. Everyday researchers are finding more and more new treatments and may soon be able to utilize lysozyme to slow the spread of the disease. HIV status is confidential, so employers won't know. Even if they find out, they can't fire you just because you have it.

I am sorry that this has happened to you. But you can manage. Please follow your health very carefully. Take your medicines, keep your appointments. Know your viral load, your CD-4 count pretty much all the time. The latest data shows that newly diagnosed HIV patients can expect to live at least 25 years, and that number is going up all the time. You may want to visit, if you live in a city with a medical school, the HIV clinic associated with the medical school. They are going to get you the best most up to date care. Your HIV status is something between your physician and you. It is no one's business. It is illegal to discriminate against you. Also, there are a lot of quacks out there trying to sell stuff to sick and desperate people, do not fall for it. There is no easy way out. There are no easy cures. I have many friends and patients with HIV and many friends working on ways to fight it. These are brilliant people working hard everyday. If you come across a remedy that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Keep your head up, keep smiling, stay healthy, exercise and keep up the hope that we will be rid of this scourge one day.

One very important book you MUST read is "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About" by Kevin Trudeau. There's a lot of bad press on Kevin Trudeau, but ignore it all until you've read his book and then you can form your own opinion about him. There's NO harm in reading a book. Find it out for yourself. http://secure.naturalcures.com/products/Natural_Cures_They_Dont_Want_You_To_Know_About.php This book alone will give you a better understanding of natural, or alternative options of treatment for your disease. Drugs will only suppress symptoms; and will never cure. If you PM me, and I'll give you as much info as I possibly can!
