Are there any treatments for AIDS & HIV  that will cure it?

No! Where have you been for the past 25 years? HIV is a virus; you cannot cure a virus. There are treatments that can prolong your life if you are infected, but they don't always work for everyone. If you become infected, it is very unlikely that you will live out your normal lifespan, even if you have the drugs. And the drugs are too expensive for most people in the poorest countries where they have the highest rates of infection. There is no "cure" for AIDS!!!

Retrovirus takes the host's cell and incorporate that in to the virus's structure.  Hence the virus become part of the person.  AIDS is hard to cure because once a cure is found, the virus simply takes the cure cell and become a new cell.  It is this adaptability that can't get rid of AIDS.

Let's see I would say that cancer is curable now, if detected early. The problem is that many people don't go to the doctor for regular check ups.  In the case of AIDS is caused by a virus. The scientific community knows little about viruses, and the HIV virus is constantly mutating, making it difficult to find something that would stop it.  They might find something that works for a certain strain of a virus but soon that strain will mutate, so the it won't work.  I hope that help you a little to understand that even with the resources it is not easy to find cures to things that are constantly changing.

We just have some treatments for cancer and TB.  I guess you can cure TB but I don't think they ever call it "cure" with cancer.  There are treatments for HIV that work with varying degrees of success.

No, the cure to AIDS is $$. You have $$, you have no problems.

If someone ever at one point thought they had HIV, but had not been tested, then they need to get tested immediatly. If they have indeed tested positive for the virus, but have been cured of OTHER infections, they are STILL HIV positive. There is no known cure for HIV.\n\nIf you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling

hey jpreffer..i donno where u got this idea about massage therapy for aids patients..well..massage cant drag out hiv viruses from body...it can help a aids patients just as it does for  any normal person if he or she requires massage for any reason lik for example bodyache...but cant be curative or cant help to reduce disease severity..or cant decrease infection proneness or cant increase immunity as such in my view....so..its just a misconcept .....or if u get something hopeful abt this tell me too.....bye...

There is NOT YET "cure" for AIDS.  There are several approved drug treatments that seem to slow the growth of the HIV viruses (which causes AIDS), and seem to slow the progress of the AIDS disease.\nSo far, these are imperfect for several reasons; they don't work for everyone, they have serious side effects, and the virus is "learning" to overcome these drugs.\nCancer is actually many different diseases, with many different causes, affecting many different parts of the body, and with many different outcomes.  There are cures for a few types of cancer; effective treatments for many others; but there are still some types that we don't\nhave effective weapons to use against.  \n\nWell.. But i believe it is on progress. see the links below. \n\nit's happened a long time ago... when people didn't believe about long distance communication [telegraph, phone, radio], or a box which could show some pictures [tv].

There is no prevention medicine for AIDS.  \n\nThere are education, condoms, and life-sustaining drugs.  \n\nHere's info on who gets what how:\n\nhttp://www.globalissues.org/health/aids/\nhttp://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/USAid.asp\nhttp://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/develop/aids/2003/0603billion.htm

No, it's a sexually transmitted disease for which there is no cure.  It can be treated by a doctor.....)(

No you can't. HIV dies when it's out of the body. Sex and exchange of bodily fluids are pretty much the only ways that you are going to aquire this.

As joseflip said, there are treatments to slow down viruses.  Do a study on viruses; it's fascinating.  They're not even alive!  Purely biologically mechanical (mindless and instinctless; they just do what they do), they do their work by invading cells, multiplying, and going out to other cells...very sneaky.  Because if you want to destroy the virus...you more than likely have to destroy cells as well, and that's where our problem lies.\nThe best example, I think, is HIV.  There are several treatments to keep this horrible disease "at bay," but I *don't think* there are *cures* for any viral diseases.

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.

There isn't a cure, and there may never be.  Some cancers have really good therapies (ie testicular cancer, childhood leukemia).  Some really don't, ie pancreatic, glioblastoma.  Some cancers still kill within 1-2 years, and this hasn't changed in decades.  But many are more treatable now.  AIDS has alot of drugs for treatment, but it's actually hard to prevent people from getting AIDS (vaccines difficulties) or to root out HIV (antiviral difficulties).  All we can do really is keep it from spreading.  Maybe in a few more decades we can do this.  Cancer will always be a problem because you won't know you have it until it's too late, since most people don't do checkups for every type of cancer out there every year.  Maybe in the future we'll have a blood test that can tell if you have any type (or 99% of them) of cancer.  ALot of work is going into that, including some that our lab is doing.  But believe me there is no vast consipracy; but you can make the arguement that potentially life saving drugs are not on the market because the regulatory hurdles are too high or they won't make a profit.  Drugs cost billions to get FDA approved, and unless they are going to benefit alot of people pharma companies aren't going to bother with them.  That's economics, it's not a conspiracy.  If we didn't have such huge requirements then there would be alot more drugs available, and alot more people will die from them.

Any viral infection like genital warts, HIV and Herpes have no cure but can be treated.  \n\nBacteria infections such as syphillis, ghonnerea and the like can be treated and a lot of the time cured with different antibiotics.

You can get rid of AIDS.  But you can't get rid of HIV. Thousands of people get better and stay in a T-cell count over 200 and don't suffer from two opportunistic disease.  How can you do this?  Luck to start (wouldn't rely on it, and following you doctors advice.  There are many anti-viral medications that keep the symptoms and disease at bay.  I have listed two site that talk about aids and two basic sites that has resources for you to better understand the disease and to get the resources you may need as well such as people to talk to and people that can help.
