Comments on: People With HIV Can Have Near Normal Life Expectancies http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/02/26/20649 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 23 May 2013 06:14:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jason D http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/02/26/20649/comment-page-1#comment-63160 Jason D Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:42:51 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=20649#comment-63160 yeah, unless there's some undiscovered benefit to HIV, and even then it would have to be fairly spectacular to be worth, I still say we cure the disease outright. Always good to make patients comfortable and give them the longest, brightest outlook in the meantime, but that's no substitute for a cure. yeah, unless there’s some undiscovered benefit to HIV, and even then it would have to be fairly spectacular to be worth, I still say we cure the disease outright.

Prevention is not always better than a cure, it all depends what prevention entails...and as for treatment, treatment is better than nothing, it isn't even close to a cure.

What this study fails to include is the QUALITY OF LIFE an non-infected, non-medicated person can have and the trials and tribulations of someone who is infected and on (ART) anti-retro viral therapy. Life with this disease is no picnic! Contrary to what the researchers would have you believe.

Of course, HIV treatment comes with several side effects that can accumulate over the long term, so there's still a need for a cure or at least better medicine. That’s good news.
