Actually, the introduction of highly active anti retroviral therapy has meant that in the western world, HIV is more like a chronic disease such as diabetes. It's expected that those with HIV can live normal lifespans if they stay on top of their treatment regimens.

you do realise that this has been the first time ever to cures someone of HIV, right?
of course we can't start curing all the infected right away, but this opens the doors to cure a large portion of HIV infected.

I do believe you have the wrong idea about me. I do not think I am always right, in fact, I very often doubt myself and what I 'know' so I seek to prove what I know to be right, wrong. I adore being proved wrong, personal feelings mean nothing in the light of truth. I don't care which of my comfortable lies are washed away in the waters of knowledge and replaced with ugly truths, and I behave in such a way. If you believe in a god, by all means, believe. It makes little difference to my life. But if the god you believe in can, and is proven false, and you choose to continue believing in spite of truth, then that is also up to you. At that point, nothing I say will change your mind.

I just snap at people that act so ******* superior because they think they are right. No one can be sure. could be a turtle who pissed us into being, could be the big bang, or god. whatever u believe should be kept between you and your god, void, turtle

Well, actually, from what we collectively know, it is highly unlikely that a turtle pissed out the universe. It can also be said, that what humanity has learned has demonstrated how most archaic religions are wrong. If anything, I am not saying that there is no god, I hold that it is possible, however improbable. I am saying, however, that if there is a god, we do not have the capacity to even imagine it yet and we have been wrong so far. Which is why I stated "truth proves religion wrong."

You are correct, but I didn't say that AIDS kills you. Much like the bullet it does damage and you die from complications like the damage caused by HIV. The virus, HIV, causes degradation of T-cells, leading to the Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome. The damage to the immune system causes opportunistic pathogens to come do their own thing in you weakened state.

My point simply is that you can go down the line to what actually killed you like when shooting someone, is it the person, the gun, the bullet, or the damage from the bullet that kills you?

I realize this point is useless, but I just feel that saying that HIV isn't the killer is like saying the shooter isn't the killer. Which is idiotic since you can't have the disease without the pathogen.

That the most people who believe he sent it as a plague isn't westboro baptist, and thinking you can point all of the flaws of established religion on a small hate group most secularists and anti-theists hardly think about, seem rather oblivious to the situation.

The problem is you are relating thinking homosexuality is a sin to thinking God sent down a plague on the gays. Those two are not related. The Catholic church for example believes homosexual actions are sins, but would never believe that HIV is a plague sent from God. You are making a pretty huge leap in your conclusion that thinking being gay is a sin means that God sent a plague to kill them all.

HIV was a disease that sprang up in the Pacific. They believe that it came from people eating Monkey brain or human brain. Originally they think that this caused a cross species transfer of SIV (similar to HIV) to humans, but recent breakthroughs think that it might be that when monkey brains were eaten, proteins similar to our own caused new cells to form improperly with certain proteins taking odd shapes. This is believed to be the source of things like Mad Cow Diseases or the Avian Flew, where certain animals were eating their own kind. It was a relatively small disease in Asia but quickly found its way into the gay community who quickly spread it. It was homosexual tourists who were visiting Asia and doing other activities that brought it California. There it spread like a wildfire, only affecting gay men and their lovers. It became known as "The gay Plague". Eventually, bisexuals spread it to females and then it took hold to the general populace. Thankfully, thanks to awareness foundations, sexual protection, and health organizations HIV and AIDS are on the decline. Some even see it being eradicated in the next few generations even from Africa.

First child* cured of HIV*. There have already been a few people cured of HIV but that is because of strange situations. For example, one man had HIV and Leukemia, and after he received a marrow transplant from someone who had a genetic advantage against HIV, he was cured. This is not the first time it has happened. What's important about this case is that it was mother-child transmission, and it was cured. This means that children that are born with HIV can be cured, which is considerably more important than those who get HIV through unprotected sex.
