Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road! I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts.

But people that know better still do the actions that infect them. It's as if they are children that are told by their parents to not play with matches because they could burn themselves and they go ahead and play with matches and burn themselves. Since old-fashioned immoral behaviour often spreads the disease and people like to be immoral, the disease will continue to spread. But as I've pointed out, people know how the disease is spread, yet they do what it takes to spread the disease. It may not be fun to be celibate. But it is safer than exposing one's self to the AIDS virus. As for the cures for AIDS, many of the possible cures have been known about for over 20 years. If the virus is detected early enough, it may be as simple as having dialysis flush the virus out of the bloodstream. Biosynthetic antibodies might be programmed to hunt the virus down, detect the incomplete DNA of the virus, and destroy it. Genetic overloading may be another treatment to make the virus unable to replicate. Molecular division of the virus or the genetic structure of the virus may make it harmless. And encapsulation of infected tissue for removal out of the body may be effective. With nanotechnology coming into its own, microscopic devices may become the cellular assassins that will detect the virus and destroy it. Some of the treatments for AIDS will be used to combat cancers too. I wish that research in the areas could have started during the 80's when I was talking about it and almost got a chance to talk about it on live nationwide TV in the NBC studios. But someone hogged the time and didn't allow me to mention possible cures for AIDS, cancer, and paralysis. There's no telling how many millions might have been saved had the man not taken up all the time saying not much of anything of importance. AIDS is a disease in which we know how it is spread.
