Conspiracy theory! Do you think they already have a cure and just use weaker treatment to make money?
Do you think they have the cure for AIDS?

They might have something they are currently testing but I don't believe they would be hiding someone they were SURE that cured AIDS. I mean why would they? They could make a lot more money off the real cure then they could for separate medications used to lengthen peoples' lives.

I don't think they have a cure yet but they certainly aren't in any hurry to find it. An individual infected with HIV/AIDS is a patient for life. Ka-ching. Why would they be in a hurry to lose their patients?

I don't think they have the cure but it wouldn't surprise me if they were suppressing cheaper treatments/drugs/etc to make more money. The healthcare 'industry' is pretty damned greedy.

I don;t think they do.

I thought I read that they were on the edge of having a cure.

I think there are cures, but nothing 100% for every case.

I firmly believe if they had the cure they wouldn't be letting people suffer still.

There really isn't any money in letting people die of a disease. The person who announced they had found a cure for HIV would have approximately all of the money. The first wave of money for the cure would be so huge that even a greedy person would have their wildest dreams fulfilled.

I seriously doubt it. I'm not into conspiracy theories at all.

There is no evidence of a 'hidden cure'. Where possible cures have eradicated or nearly-eradicated diseases like Small Pox and Polio. There is plenty for the medical community to do - even if AIDS were to somehow become curable.

While there is actually evidence that AIDS has been cured before (here and here and here will give you a starting point if you wish to do some reading on the subject) this is certainly not something that can be done in more than a minute numbers of AIDS sufferers. Essentially, the first evidence came about after a leukemia patient was given a bone marrow transplant in 2008. Because of a rare mutation of his immune system's cells, the receptors that essentially allow HIV to re-enter (I'm very much oversimplifying this, but the way) aren't present and he was officially declared HIV-free despite having ceased AIDS medication.

This procedure was actually much more likely to have killed him than cured him, so it's not a practical solution, but I just thought that I'd being a bit of sunshine to the conspiracy parade.
The more you know, right?

No, they don't....

No. Also doesn't sound like an effective way to make more money.

I don't think they do.

I think there are definitely known experimental treatments that maybe don't work on enough people to really let out there.
02/25/2013
No they do not.

There have been people who have had AIDS who no longer have it, so I wonder. . .
02/26/2013
I think they're getting there. I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, just perhaps not a completely developed treatment yet.
