In the future,do you think doctors will make a medicine to fight AIDS?


Question:


Answers:
Yes. Actually, we already have. There are presently numerous drugs available to combat the progression of HIV/AIDS and this disease is no longer considered to be a terminal disease, but a chronic condition if appropriately treated. With the proper treatment, people can live for years, perhaps decades, with HIV/AIDS. Recently, one combination of drugs was found that, if taken before exposure, prevents infection in almost all cases. The problems with all of these treatments, however, are that they are expensive and must be taken regularly for the rest of the person's life. This puts them out of reach of the poorest people, who comprise the bulk of the AIDS population. If an inexpensive, effective drug could be developed that has few side effects and need not be taken daily to be effective it would be a godsend. What is most sorely needed is an effective vaccine that can be adminstered like the polio or influenza vaccine, one which can be added to regularly scheduled immunizations. Once this is done, we could launch a program to erradicate HIV as we have done with small pox and as we are doing with polio and guiena worm disease.

They already have for ***** sake. Where have you been hiding? Anti-retrovirals have revolutionised the treatment of HIV.

Before that another incurable disease will encounter the world
With all the drugs out people with AIDS are living longer and spreading the disease to more people. You should be required to have mandatory testing and if you have it you need to get I HAVE HIV/AIDS tattooed on to your forehead.
There are medicines that combat the virus. They give it to rape victims, law enforcement, health care providers, etc. when they are exposed. It makes them severly ill for a couple of days and they have to stay in a hospital for monitoring.
